Default Converting date into plain text

Folks,
I have a small problem. Let's say I have January 22, 2004 in one cell. Now
this is set up as a Date format. Is there a way I can convert it into text
so that I can do, for example, a left() function that's going to ask for the
first 3 characters in that cell..i.e. bring back "Jan".
