Answer 1

you can use this code

NSString *str=@"17-02-2014 05:00 PM";
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm a"];
NSDate *datetoday=[dateFormatter dateFromString:str];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss Z"];
NSString *strdate=[dateFormatter stringFromDate:datetoday];
 NSLog(@"%@",strdate);
