You should be able to work these out for yourself.
Try reading the User Guide!

1) Use the List replace method and fill in the fields with...
Jan -> 01
Feb -> 02
Mar -> 03
etc etc

Then reorder using the Swap method on the 2nd occurrence of "-"

2) Replace method:
Replace "." with "-"

What do you expect if you don't describe your problem completely!

The answer is described in a simple example in the User Guide - please read it.

However...
Replace method
Replace: (\d{2}-\d{2})-(\d{4})
With: \2 -\1
Use regular expressions
