I have a file that has the date as 10-Jan-2008. Is there a way to convert it to look like 01/15/2008.

I did a convert(datetime,[hiredate],101 from dbo.jj

results were 2008-01-15

Do i need to substring

Format dates at your front-end client (report, web page, application, etc); do not worry about formatting in T-SQL, databases are not meant for presentation.
