I would format the date you way you want into a string placeholder of some sort and just print that value.

 

 

// controller code

Date theDate = new Date.today();
String theDateString = theDate.format('m-d-Y');


// VF code
{!theDateString}

Try doing this on your visualforce page

 

<apex:outputText value="{0,date,d}">

       <apex:param value="{!yourObject.yourDate}" />

</apex:outputText>
