Use Liquid Tags to Format Dates in Email
We use Liquid as the template language.
if you do the "Edit Email" or use the menu or the Block called "Block settings" it will let you edit the code for the email and you'll see the {{ tags like this }} which you can modify.
To add date formatting add a | to the tag (ie {{date | %a %e %b %Y }}

FULL EXAMPLE:
You could try something like replacing the default date/time:
{{ task.1100706.date_and_time }}
with:
{{ task.1100706.date_and_time | "%B %e, %y" }}
That would change:

to appear as
