What is the datatype of VoucherDate? If it is a datetime field, use
CONVERT(varchar(10),VoucherDate,103)

else try using
CONVERT(varchar(10),convert(datetime,VoucherDate),103)

you should be trying to do this at your front end. formatting is a front end issue where you'll have lots of functions available for this. you dont need to change actual table data just for sake of formatting it.
