I don't know if there's an easier way, but you could use a selection structure to do it. For instance, if the number was in a text box called TextBox:

 

Select Case Me.TextBox.Text
     Case "1"
           Me.TextBox.Text = "Jan."
     Case "2"
           Me.TextBox.Text = "Feb."
     'continue doing this for each month
End Select

Or use the MonthNames array:

for(int i=0; i<12; i++)
   Debug.WriteLine(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.MonthNames[i]);

You can also get the abbreviations using AbbreviatedMonthNames.
