Convert the Date in to UTC date before return to JSON

Can you show me how to convert the Date in to UTC date before return to JSON? Now I read the birhday from database directly and return to JSON.I check my database,the birthday value like '2013-05-28 00:31:00.000',it seems not like the utc format.If my server time is not utc format, I want to change to time rely on clinet web brower,is it OK?For example,the server is in Beijing(utc+8),If I in utc+8 timezone,I get the data and add 8 hours,If I in utc+7 timezone,I get the data and add 7 hours.And another question,If the web server is in Utc+9 timezone like Tokyo,and I am in utc+7 timezone,am I also add 7 hours or 9 hours?As far as I know ,my database's birthday is not utc format and my web server is in Beijing(utc+8),and I am also in Beijing, ervery time I add the birthday from the server Json,I add the timezone(means 8 hours) manually,it runs well!
