I think you didn't manage to make clear which direction you actually
want to go. Here are possibilities for either way:
list1 = StringSplit["01/02/1901
01/03/1901
01/04/1901
12/11/1991
12/12/1991
12/13/1991", "\n"]
list2 = StringReplace[list1, "/" -> ""]
list3 = StringReplace[list2,
RegularExpression["([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})"] -> "$1/$2/$3"]
