I harcoded a variable creation data in a java file which in turn inserts into the table but the issue here is its inserting date with the date value:1970-01-01
Date creationdate=new Date(2013-02-10);
Please advice where I am going wrong.

If that's really your line of code, it's not doing what you want it to. First you subtract 2 (octal) and 10 from 2013, leaving 2011. You then create a new Date object that is 2011 milliseconds (or just over 2 seconds) past midnight on January 1st 1970.
You should check out DateFormat and SimpleDateFormat if you want to convert any String into a Date, and Calendar or GregorianCalendar if you want to create a Date object for a specific date/time.
