I have a string in the format

"thu,01 jan 2014 00:23:09 GMT"

I wanted to convert this into

01/01/2014 00:23:09.

is there any predefined methods to do this???

CString cookies= _T("Thu 05 Dec 2013 15:10:23 GMT"); 
COleDateTime dtTimecookie; dtTimecookie.Format(_T("%a %d %b %Y %X %Z")); 
dtTimecookie.ParseDateTime(cookies); 
int yy=dtTimecookie.GetYear();
int mm=dtTimecookie.GetMonth(); 
int dd=dtTimecookie.GetDay(); 
int hr=dtTimecookie.GetHour(); 
int min=dtTimecookie.GetMinute();
int sec=dtTimecookie.GetSecond();

CString dateStrcookie;
dateStrcookie.Format(_T("%d/%d/%d %d:%d:%d"),dd,mm,yy,hr,min,sec);

This is not working.

There is no standard function to do this, you need to write your own parsing routine to convert it to a tm structure as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kys1801b.aspx[^].
