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.

Have a look at DateTime.ToString() Patterns
