Few things can be done here:
1) Use "convert" in search where you input the current format and can edit the desired output.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.5/SearchReference/Convert
2) Eval function can also do this
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/728399/how-do-i-convert-the-date-format-in-a-custom-field.html
3) from CLI place below parameter in props.conf
[sourcetype]
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %k:%M:%S
in
C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\system\local\props.conf

Hi

Are you trying to convert date field to the specified format? Then try this

| makeresults 
| eval source = "Apr 02, 2019 3:15:34 AM" 
| eval epoch =strptime(source,"%b %d, %Y %H:%M:%S %p") 
| eval newdate=strftime(epoch,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %p")

If not please explain your requirement in detail.
