Take the date as a string in the current text format: "01-jan-2019" and use TryParseExact to convert it to a DateTime value.
You can then use ToString to output it in any format you want: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]

C#

string input = "01-jan-2019";
DateTime dt;
if (DateTime.TryParseExact(input, "dd-MMM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out dt))
    {
    Console.WriteLine(dt.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"));
    }
