Convert Date Format

Hello,
I want to change the format of date value in variable.

e.g. cur_date = '2013/03/13 14:24:50' (yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss)

I want to change this to '13-MAR-2013 14:24:50

Following code coverts the current date to format I am looking for. But I do not know how this can be done for a date in different format that is stored in a variable.

Code:
date +'%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S' -d "$year$month$day $hour:$min:$sec"
