Why do you care about the format of the data in the data array?
The only time format of the date time should really matter is for
display.
And for display you should use the Time Helper in your views. It has
many functions for presenting date time. And if you need to you can
create your own class
I am on a cake v1.2 system so I don't think I have access to
virtualFields...guess I have to get the [0] index and then use a
helper to format the data...

specify the virtual field in the find as 'Model.field'). Otherwise,
just use a helper or the PHP date() function.

cast the date into another type, not converting the date into another
format.
Use DATE_FORMAT(date, format) instead!

Without anything set it returns [createdate] => Jun 11 2010
03:08:12:283PM which is not the format I'd like.
If I modify the column name to i.e. convert(varchar(26), createdate,
126) as createdate I get
