Here is the expression
SUBSTRING(DateString,1,4) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DateString,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DateString,7,2) + " " + SUBSTRING(DateString,9,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING(DateString,11,2)
Here is the return values
DateString,DATE
20080727063005,2008/07/27 06:30:05
SUBSTRING(DateString,1,4) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DateString,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(DateString,7,2) + " " + SUBSTRING(DateString,9,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING(DateString,11,2)

I am converting flatfile datestring to another flat file with SSIS package. With drived column , i gave the below expression with DT_Date datatype.
SUBSTRING(DateString,1,4) + "-" + SUBSTRING(DateString,5,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(DateString,7,2) + " " + SUBSTRING(DateString,9,2) + ":" + SUBSTRING(DateString,11,2)
I expect it will return datestring value like 2008-07-22 21:58:36 but it shows 7/22/2008 9:58:36 PM.
But I need to display like 2008-07-22 21:58:36 . Can you please advise me how to fix this? Thanks.

Now i am in the situation to do it via SSIS. I can use this scrip in Exec SQL task. But Can you please tell me is it possible to do with Data Conversion Task? Thanks.
