Answer 1

You can try

DateTime.TryParseExact

Converts the specified string
representation of a date and time to
its DateTime equivalent using the
specified array of formats,
culture-specific format information,
and style. The format of the string
representation must match at least one
of the specified formats exactly. The
method returns a value that indicates
whether the conversion succeeded.

This will allow you to parse the string into a DateTime. You can then use ToString to format the date as you wish.
