Answer 1

Your date string is a character format one, can not be accepted as a date. Hence,I would like to request you to change your datatype as DATETIME. As satheesh suggested, you can do the formatting at application side.
But for any case, you want to do it at SQL Server, the below is another option.(assuming the month follows the same format 0 will be prefixed for 1-9 digits)
Declare @chardate varchar(8)='23-08-13'
Select LEFT(@chardate,3)+Case
When charindex('-01-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Jan'
When charindex('-02-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Feb'
When charindex('-03-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Mar'
When charindex('-04-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Apr'
When charindex('-05-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'May'
When charindex('-06-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Jun'
When charindex('-07-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Jul'
When charindex('-08-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Aug'
When charindex('-09-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Sep'
When charindex('-10-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Oct'
When charindex('-11-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Nov'
When charindex('-12-',@chardate,0) <> 0 Then 'Dec'
else '' end +RIGHT(@chardate,3)
