Try this

On reapeater OnItemDataBound event

protected void OnItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        RepeaterItem item = e.Item;
        string birthDate = (item.FindControl("lblDOB") as Label).Text;
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(birthDate))
                (item.FindControl("lblDOB") as Label).Text = "--";
        else
            if (Convert.ToDateTime(birthDate) == Convert.ToDateTime("1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM"))
                (item.FindControl("lblDOB") as Label).Text = "--";
    }
}

Where lblDOB is the lebel control in which you have to bind datetime value.
