date | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" will give all the value in lowercase.

for ur case...

echo 24JAN2008 | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" will gice the output as 24jan2008

Using sed

Code:
echo $date | sed '
h
s/[0-9]\{1,2\}.\(..\).*/\1/
y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/
G
s/\(.*\)\n\([0-9]\{1,2\}.\)\(..\)\(.*\)/\2\1\4/
'
