    var val=$.format.date(req[i].from_date, "dd/MMM/yyyy");

You can do this work use native javascript functions. Use .split() to split date by - delimiter into array and invert array using .reverse() and convert array to sting using .join()

var date = "2016-10-15";
date = date.split("-").reverse().join("-");
console.log(date);
