DateTime field stores numeric value. So, format is not important, because it's used for visualize data.

To change format of viewed date, use:

SQL

SET DATEFORMAT ymd;
SET DATEFORMAT dmy;
SET DATEFORMAT mdy;

More about: DATETIME[^], SET DATEFORMAT[^], CAST and CONVERT[^]

SQL

DECLARE @myDate DATETIME
SET @myDate = '2013-03-07'
--USA: mm/dd/yy
SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @myDate, 101) AS [Formated Date]

--British/French:dd/mm/yy
SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @myDate, 103) AS [Formated Date]

--USA: mm-dd-yy
SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @myDate, 110) AS [Formated Date]

--JAPAN: yy/mm/dd
SELECT CONVERT(NVARCHAR(30), @myDate, 111) AS [Formated Date]

I only want to write a Select Query to display date in dd/mm/yyyy format ,though datetype in db is -- DateTime()

what should i do in select query ?

No! You don't need to alter/update table.

Please, follow the llinks.

I'm not a big link follower either ... Try all these:
SELECT CONVERT (time, SYSDATETIME()) AS [SYSDATETIME()]
,CONVERT (time, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()) AS [SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()]
,CONVERT (time, SYSUTCDATETIME()) AS [SYSUTCDATETIME()]
,CONVERT (time, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS [CURRENT_TIMESTAMP]
,CONVERT (time, GETDATE()) AS [GETDATE()]
,CONVERT (time, GETUTCDATE()) AS [GETUTCDATE()];
