Answer 1

This is what you should use:

lblTglSuratKeluar.Text = suratKeluarc.TglSurat.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy", new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("id-ID"));

Answer 2

Check out this question.

You should use "id-ID" CultureInfo and parse your string into a DateTime object using the culture info.

// Get the default formatted date
string indonesianDate =  suratKeluarc.TglSurat.ToString();

// Parse the date string using the indonesian cultureinfo
System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureinfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("id-ID");
DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(indonesianDate, cultureinfo);

// Get your formatted string.
lblTglSuratKeluar.Text = dt.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy", cultureinfo);
