If you just want to change the textual representation of the date you can use a regular expression:

var string = '2013-02-22';
var patt = /(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)/;
var dates = patt.exec(string);

if (dates && dates.length === 4) {
    alert(dates[3] + '.' + dates[2] + '.' + dates[1]);
}

You could use datejs. It is a free open-source javascript library for working with dates.
