I have a CQWP in which I am querying the data from a document library. ItemStyle being used is "Title and Description" Title displays the title of the Document and the in Description I have given a site column name DateTime which is of type Date and Time.

The output shows following web part : enter image description here

In the description I want to make the date format DD:MM:YYYY.

How is it possible? Please help

You'll need to use an additional XSL schema called ddwrt.

Here is a blog with a good and simple walk-through

<xsl:value-of select="@ArticleStartDate"/>
You get back a pretty nasty
looking result 2009-03-23 00:00:00

However if you use the “FormatDate” function, you can make this look a lot better.
<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDate(@ArticleStartDate, 2057, 3)"/>
Results in this 23 March 2009
