You can either split out the parts and use mktime to get a timestamp, then
feed that timestamp to date(), or you can do it in postgresql with
something like SET DateStyle TO 'US' and then see how they come out.

Finally, you could use the extract() function to pull the date in the
format you want ahead of time:

select extract(YEAR from field)||'/'||extract(MONTH from
field)||'/'||extract(day from field);

And get it that way.
