Pure XSLT would be something like

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="x" select="'13/03/2003 4:58:32 pm'" />
  <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($x, '/')" />
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="document('')/*/x:months/month[@number = format-number(substring-before(substring-after($x, '/'), '/'), '##')]/@name" />
</xsl:template>

<x:months>
  <month name="January" number="1" />
  <month name="February" number="2" />
  <month name="March" number="3" />
  <month name="April" number="4" />
  <month name="May" number="5" />
  <month name="June" number="6" />
  <month name="July" number="7" />
  <month name="August" number="8" />
  <month name="September" number="9" />
  <month name="October" number="10" />
  <month name="November" number="11" />
  <month name="December" number="12" />
</x:months>

but you can also use <http://exslt.org/date/index.html> if your processors support EXSLT date and time module.
