Hi,

Date picker component fetches the value that we author as Calendar object and formats the same using "org.apache.jackrabbit.util.ISO8601" -  ISO8601 (Apache Jackrabbit 2.8.7 API)

Perhaps we can amend the value in Sling Model (via Java's SimpleDateFormat) and use the same in HTL for displaying in page ultimately per your requirement.

"I am new to touch ui "

See this new article. It uses a Touch UI Date Picker and HTL and shows you how to read it.

See the dialog that uses a date picker -- as I stated, you will learn how to work with these granite resource types.
