Answer 1

As per the docs materializecss.com Check the Date format options.

// date picker
$(document).ready(function(){

  $('.datepicker').datepicker( {"format":'dd-mm-yyyy'} ).datepicker("setDate", new Date());

});

You can remove and change the code to below if you do not need current date as highlighted in calendar,

// date picker
$(document).ready(function(){

  $('.datepicker').datepicker( {"format":'dd-mm-yyyy'});

});
