Just the date, or those other thread fields? Anyway, if you look in forumdisplay.php you'll see how the thread info is read from the database, then I think includes/functions_forumdisplay.php has functions for formatting that data. If you search in there for 'dateline' you'll find where it uses the function vbdate() to do the formatting.

It depends on which .php file you're displaying, but it looks like in general $threadinfo is set by global.php if the url has a threadid. In forumdisplay it's displaying many threads in a loop, and it looks like within that loop it's using $thread. So if your stuff is being call from there you might find that $thread[postdate] and $thread[posttime] are already set.
