SimpleDateFormat cannot parse the day-of-month suffix i.e. the "th" in "11th Jan". – dogbane Jan 13 '12 at 08:24

Have a look at SimpleDateFormat. You can specify your own format from which a date String gets parsed to a Date object.
Try this:
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM, yyyy HH:mm:ss Z");
Date d = sdf.parse("11nd Jan, 2012 02:51:01 +0300".replaceAll("st|nd|rd|th", ""));

Use SimpleDateFormat and create an appropriate format String.
For the ordinals (st/nd/rd/th) see this question: Parsing dates of the format "January 10th, 2010" in Java? (with ordinal indicators, st|nd|rd|th)

You use a SimpleDateFormat to parse your text.
How to convert descriptive dates into Java Date format handles the st/nd/rd/th issue.
