Questions & Suggestions

I may have any date in the format: Aug 5, 2023.
This date would be saved to a variable.
I need to conver this format into: 5 Aug, 2023, saving it to the same variable.

Is there a way to do that? (if it involves regular expression, I don't know how to use regular expression)
