Create new object, in the options you will see 'add', select this, and from the list of plugins there should be 'date text state', select that, apply it, then set your font, colors, shadows etc.. close the editor off, then right click the date for config options, a box will pop up, and you'll see.. 'ddd',' MMM dd yyyy', [with explanations on what each abbreviation stands for] just remove the parts of that code that you don't want, and keep 'd' to just display the date, with no zero in front of the digits.... or display the day, it tells you what code is for each 
, just mess with it, until you get it looking like you want.
