You can't!
You can only create pattern to find date in above format: \d{1}/\d{2}/\d{2}, which means:
\d{1} - one digit
\d{2} - two digits
/ - date parts separator

Don't.
You can write a regex to validate a date: http://www.regular-expressions.info/dates.html[^]...but it's a poor solution to teh problem.

Instead, use DateTime.TryParseExact[^] which is a lot easier to read, and even converts it to a DateTime value for you to use in future!
