Set a Date Object Java

Question

I have a date object myDate(say). After doing the following:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, 9);
cal.set(Calendar.DATE, 24);
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2013);
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR,13);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE,45);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND,52);

I want to set the myDate object to the above values and hence show the below output.

Mon Sep 09 13:45:52 PST 2013

Please let me know how to do it.
