Answer 1

Use below lines of code

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"hh:mm a"];   
    NSString *str_date = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
    NSLog(@"str_date:%@",str_date);

Answer 2

You could use this document for more information NSDateFormatter Class Reference .An example could be:

NSDate* date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

[formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterFullStyle];
NSLog(@"date=%@",[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date]);
