How to get date in particular format in SOQL query

i have a method in my code 

public List<Meeting_ActionItem__c> getActionItem1(){
return [SELECT Action_Item_Description__c,project__c,Status__c,Date_Assigned__c,Due_Date__c,assigned_to__c FROM Meeting_ActionItem__c where Meeting_Master__r.id=
:ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];


}

 

its a controller class i am using this list in <apex:dataTable> in Date_Assigned__c i am getting date in format  Thu Feb 28 00:00:00 GMT 2013 but i want it in this format YYYY-MM-DD

 

i was searching go through this link http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/General-Development/Date-format-in-SOQL-query/td-p/191486

last solution in this link is showing is copying all fields to a different object in different date format .i doubt if there are suppose 100,000 then it will take considerable time for copying fields .please suggest any other efficient solution

In your visual force page, try this for displaying date
        
    <apex:outputText value="{0,date,yyyy'-'MM'-'dd}" >
        <apex:param value="{!varName.Date_Assigned__c}" />
    </apex:outputText>
