Instead of replacing data with this format, get that format while displaying the taskdate.u can do this by using convert function.For example
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),GETDATE(),103)

Similarly
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),TASKDATE,103)
FROM
TABLENAME

Also consider doing the formation at front end application
