Integer dtMonth = c.Contract_Start_Date__c.month();

 

The method ".month()" returns an integer, so if your date is 11/11/2012, it will return you '11'.  To get the Month Name, write some logic that returns you the month name when you pass the month number to it. 

 

Make a habit of referring the developer guides before directly posting queries here. Will help you learn in a better way :)
