Supposing your data is a SAS date and not a string, your best bet is probably to create a picture format to display the date as you request.

Try this

data have;
input date :date9.;
format date date9.;
datalines;
31DEC2019 
01MAR2020 
08MAR2020 
01JUN2020 
;

proc format; 
  picture dtfmt (default=12)
    low - high = '%D %3b %Y' (datatype=date)
  ;
run;

data want;
   set have;
   format date dtfmt.;
run;
