If the data is in an oracle database, use the Oracle date functions. If the data is currently in a varchar2 field, convert it to a date field as follows:

converted_date := to_date(char_date,'dddyyyy')

or something thereabouts assuming the char date is in the format dddyyyy.  Once the data is in a date field, it can be displayed in any of the valid date formats ex:

to_char(converted_date,'mm/dd/yyyy')
