Try this:

- (IBAction)date:(id)sender {
    datepicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 250, 325, 300)];
    datepicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
    datepicker.hidden = NO;
    datepicker.date = [NSDate date];

    [datepicker addTarget:self
                   action:@selector(labelChange:)
         forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
    [self.view addSubview:datepicker]; //this can set value of selected date to your label change according to your condition


       NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [df setDateFormat:@"M-d-yyyy"]; // from here u can change format.. 
    _selectedDate.text = [df stringFromDate:datepicker.date];
}

- (void)labelChange:(id)sender{
    NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [df setDateFormat:@"M-d-yyyy"];
    _selectedDate.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",
                          [df stringFromDate:datepicker.date]];
    [datepicker removeFromSuperview];
}
