Yes, STYLE code : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql#date-and-time-styles

Note that 103 gives you slashes whereas 105 gives you hyphens

And most flexible is the format function : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/format-transact-sql

Heres an example 
declare @coldate date = getdate()

select format(@coldate,'dd-MM-yyyy')

select format(@coldate,'d','en-gb')

select convert(char(10), @coldate, 105)

select convert(char(10), @coldate, 103)
