The simple way to do this is to use String.Format(), which you can read more about here:

However, if you are using XAML databinding (as I assume you are from the code snippet above), you can add a converter to your binding statement to make any format you'd like. You can read more about that here:

You can use a StringFormat in your binding to change the way that this is displayed. As your example doesn't match - i.e. 04 Tue isn't the same as 12/02/2013 and I can't see how you derives this, I can't give you the exact string. However, you could start by reading up about WPF and StringFormat in XAML.

<contentcontrol x:name="Content" margin="-2" content="{TemplateBinding Content}" xmlns:x="#unknown">
ContentTemplate="{DynamicResource LabelTemplate}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"
VerticalContentAlignment="Center" />

i did and ContentTemplate referred to labelTemplate

<datatemplate x:key="LabelTemplate">
