Answer 1

data = JSON.parse('{"event1":{"title":"My birthday","start":"12\/27\/2011 10:20 ","end":"12\/27\/2011 00:00 "},"event2":{"title":"My birthday again","start":"12\/27\/2011 10:20 ","end":"12\/27\/2011 00:00 "}}')

arr = []
for(var event in data){
    var dataCopy = data[event]
    for(key in dataCopy){
        if(key == "start" || key == "end"){
            // needs more specific method to manipulate date to your needs
            dataCopy[key] = new Date(dataCopy[key])
        }
    }
    arr.push(dataCopy)
}

alert( JSON.stringify(arr) )

It looks like you're already using jQuery so just use $.parseJSON. (http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseJSON/)

You'll have to iterate over the object that is created though to turn the date strings into Date objects.
