In general, I'd suggest to write a CLR function which split strings by regex or SQL table-valued function, but in you case you can try something simple like converting your string to xml and parsing it:

declare @str nvarchar(max) = 'date=10/10/2000|age=13^date=01/01/2001|age=12^date=02/02/2005|age=8'
declare @data xml

select @str = replace(@str, '=', '="')
select @str = replace(@str, '|', '" ')
select @str = replace(@str, '^', '"/>'

select @data = cast(@str as xml)

select
    t.c.value('@date', 'nvarchar(max)') as [date],
    t.c.value('@age', 'nvarchar(max)') as [age]
from @data.nodes('row') as t(c)
