I have an old table that has about 2000 records and hasn't been modified. I realized it was missing a create_date. Do anyone know or have any slick SQL code to extract out the date from the timestamp field and update and insert the date into the create_date field?

FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(t)) will strip out the time part and convert a DATETIME or TIMESTAMP value to a DATE. So you could do this:
UPDATE tbl_name SET create_date = FROM_DAYS(TO_DAYS(timestamp_field));
