Date formatting in SOQL Query

This is my controller class in which I am directly inserting my queryl 
  
public class WBSDataTableController {
    public List<Tasks__c> WBSList {
        get {
            if (WBSList == null) {
                WBSList = [SELECT Task_Name__c, Start_Date__c, Project__r.Name FROM Tasks__c WHERE Project__r.Name = 'P-005'];
            }
            return WBSList;
        }
        set;
    }
}


Now when I call my Start_Date__c field which is a Date type field, in HTML like this : 

<apex:repeat value="{!WBSList}" var="tasks">
                    <tr>
                        <td>{!tasks.Task_Name__c}</td>
                       <td>{!tasks.Start_Date__c}</td>
                
                    </tr>
                </apex:repeat>
 



It shows me this value : 
Tue Feb 17 00:00:00 GMT 2015

whereas I only want the value like this : 
17 Feb 2015 

 

I know that there is an option to break it down in using date time instance but I want to add the formatted date straight into my WBSList variable. 

Any quick fixes for this?
