You need to use Date() object to convert string to date and get day name.

var days = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];
var dateStr = "10/7/2016";

var date = new Date(dateStr.split("/").reverse().join("-"));
var dayName = days[date.getDay()];
var newFormat = dayName + ", " + dateStr.replace(/\//g, "-");

console.log(newFormat);

You can do this with a function like this:

function date_format(d_str){
    var weekdays = [ "Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"];
    var d_s = d_str.split("/");
    return weekdays[new Date(d_s[2]+'-'+d_s[1]+'-'+d_s[0]).getDay()]+', '+d_s[0]+'-'+d_s[1]+'-'+d_s[2];
}
console.debug(date_format('10/7/2016'));
