TEXT(NOW(),"ddd")

You can apply a custom format and have the date/day in the same cell:

format|Cells|number tab|custom category:

mmm dd, yyyy ddd
for 3 character day

mmm dd, yyyy dddd
for the complete spelling of the day



Or with the date in A1, you could use an additional cell:
=a1
and format as ddd or dddd

or
=text(a1,"ddd")
=text(a1,"dddd")
