hi,

you can use DATEVALUE(<text filed value>) to convert

Here's the link:

Try below code. I hope that will help you 
string Dt = '11/28/14';

String[] dts = dt.split('/');

Date myDate = date.newinstance(Integer.valueOf('20'+dts[2]), Integer.valueOf(dts[0]), Integer.valueOf(dts[1]));

System.debug('--------------------------'+myDate);
