What you need is the to_char() function.  The
documentation for this function can be found here:

http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?functions-formatting.html

Here's an example of how you would use this function.

processdata=> select to_char(now(), 'YYYY-DD-MM
HH:MM:SS PM')
processdata-> ;
        to_char
------------------------

Notice how the format string has PM in it but the time
returned is AM, that spooked me at first, but it seems
to work as one would hope.
