    Try this:

    DECLARE @dt DATETIME = '2013-01-18'
SELECT LEFT(DATENAME(WEEKDAY, @dt), 3) + ', ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), @dt, 107)

    However, be careful, CONVERT function with 107 parameter isn’t deterministic, it depends on local language settigs, you can read more about it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx

    Same goes for DATENAME function, read more about it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174395.aspx
