Short answer: Since you apparently do not use the "modular" database
actions, you cannot.
Long answer: There are two sets of database actions: one set in
org.apache.cocoon.acting and another one in
org.apache.cocoon.acting.modular They are similar to a great deal but
differ in details. Configuration files from the "original" actions
can mostly be used with the "modular" ones.
Formating the date is an output issue, which is not handled by the
actions. At least in case of the modular actions, they return a java
date object, not a string. Parsing input data is an issue. Of my head
I believe both Date*Module take a format parameter that is expected to
conform to the SimpleDateFormat specs. See javadocs for details.
