How can I display today's date in format like Monday December, 29th 2014 modifying this
<apex:outputText value="{0,date,MM'/'dd'/'yyyy}"> <apex:param value="{!today()}" /> </apex:outputText>

Date formatting is always a bit tough in Visualforce - a gentle reminder from the platform that the output is supposed to be an artefact of the running user's locale and language. I might have burned my fingers a few times! :-)– Matt and NeilDec 29, 2014 at 18:56

You can use this:
<apex:outputText value="{0,date,EEEE MMMM',' d y}"> <apex:param value="{!today()}" /> </apex:outputText>
That will display something like: Monday December, 29 2014
The date formatting is based on simple date format. Note that to add "st","th","nd","rd" to the days additional coding is required, you may need an apex solution.

Try this
<apex:outputText value="{0,date,EEEE' 'MMMM', 'd' 'yyyy}">
<apex:param value="{!today()}" />
</apex:outputText>
It produces the following when I test in my dev org
Take a look at Java Simple Date Format for additional details and other possibilities
