You should use the DateTime structure:
DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(something);
string str = date.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");
In your case, you should use a regular expression to parse the values out of the string, like this:
static readonly Regex parser = new Regex(@"new Date\((\d{4}),\s*(\d\d?),\s*(\d\d?)\)");
Match match = parser.Match("new Date(2009,0,1)");
DateTime date = new DateTime(
int.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value),
int.Parse(match.Groups[2].Value) + 1,
int.Parse(match.Groups[3].Value)
);
string str = date.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy");

You can't use a regex for this - you can only work with existing text. Adding new characters (Jan instead of 1 (or 0??)) is not possible.
What you can do is match @"new Date\((\d+),(\+d),(\d+)\). Then you'll have three strings containing 2009, 0, and 1 in the Match object's groups 1, 2, and 3.
