Use the pattern facet for both of these. [1,2]

If you really mean a three character month such as "Jan" 
for the English word January, that's not supported by
the schema date type.  Quoting from the recommendation [3]:

"The lexical representation for date is the reduced
(right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime:
CCYY-MM-DD. No left truncation is allowed. An optional
following time zone qualifier is allowed as for
dateTime. To accommodate year values outside the range
from 0001 to 9999, additional digits can be added to
the left of this representation and a preceding "-"
sign is allowed.

For example, to indicate May the 31st, 1999, one would
write: 1999-05-31. See also ISO 8601 Date and Time
Formats (§D)."

You can use the pattern facet to restrict this further,
but not to introduce any forms that are not legal as
documented above.

Hope this helps.
