If your date is in cell A1:
=DAY(A1)
=MONTH(A1)
=YEAR(A1)

or by vba:

Sub test()
Dim str As String, dtm As Date

'example 1
str = "13/01/04"

Debug.Print Left(str, 2)
Debug.Print Mid(str, 4, 2)
Debug.Print Right(str, 2)

'example 2
dtm = str
Debug.Print Day(dtm)
Debug.Print Month(dtm)
Debug.Print Year(dtm)
End Sub

You could type the following directly into the target cells:

=day(A1)
=month(A1)
=year(A1)

Note: A1 contains a date .

This is sensitive to the short date setting in regional settings. Or, use
the following with VBA.

Format("yourdate","dd")
Format("yourdate","mm")
Format("yourdate","yyyy")
