SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(yourdatecolumn,'%d, %m,%Y %h:%i %p') AS your_date FROM table

just change the %m options to suit the format you wish.
You will then have a field called your_date that you can access in your loop
like 
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
	echo $row['your_date'];
	}

enjoy,
