Answer 2

Try

        NSString *str = @"2013-05-09 09:30:00";
        NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
        NSDate *dt = [dateFormatter dateFromString:str];

        NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter1 = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
        [dateFormatter1 setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm"];
        NSString *str1 = [dateFormatter1 stringFromDate:dt];
        NSLog(@"Formated date - %@", str1);//output -> 09-05-2013 09:30

        lbl.text = str1;

Answer 3

Once go through this,

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy''HH:mm"];
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:162000];
NSString *formattedDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(@"%@",[formattedDateString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@" "]);

Here NSLog Prints like 03-01-2001 02:30 , for more here is apple document.

Hope it will helps you...
