Format mask enables you to format data as you wish (unless you choose format which is invalid, of course). So, if you wish to use slash character to separate day, month and year, fine with me.

If, on the other hand, you'd like to display "/" in the item so that users wouldn't have to type this character (like this drawing), I wouldn't know how to do that.

Then store the date in a character field and store the slashes as well as the numbers.
