Change the DATETIME format to DD/MM/YYYY by using CONVERT command.

I have a database table named EMP and I have a column named
DOB(datetime) .I want to retrieve just the MM/DD/YYYY part by using
the CONVERT command.And also I need to change the MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/
YYYY format by using the CONVERT command by SQL query.What is the
solution ?
Thank you.

please have a look at CONVERT function in BOL:
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE(), 103) AS [my formatted date];
--<--
my formatted date
