Answer 1

$("table tr").each(function () {
    if ($(this).find("td:eq(1)").text().trim() == '2013-03-21') {
     $(this).find("input[type=checkbox]").attr("checked", true);
  }
});

You can use filter(), You better assign some id to table and use that in selector and be sepecific

trs = $('td').filter(function(){
 if($.trim($(this).text()) == '2013-03-21')
    return $(this).parent();
});
