var query = Trips.findOne({"_id":tripId},function (err, trip) {
      if (err)
         res.send(err);
      console.log(trip.startDate);
      res.json(trip);
 });

The above code prints the date field like "2015-08-30T10:40:35.476Z".

But i want to change this Date in "mm/dd/yyyy" format. So that i can display the date in jQuery Datepicker.

Even After doing

 delete trip.tripEndDate;
            trip.tripEndDate="07/10/1986";          
            console.log(trip.tripEndDate);

It prints in Date Format not in mm/dd/yyyy

It's not related to moongoose, it's a general javascript concern.

You should use something like moment.js (http://momentjs.com) to print the date in the correct format.
