can try:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
    try {
        Date date = sdf.parse("Mon Dec 03 00:00:00 IST 2012");
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

date format of your string-represented date is:

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy");
