Could someone please let me know how to convert them to daily Stata dates. Thank you.

There is nothing to convert to daily dates. These are Stata daily dates.

That said, it's manifest that these are likely to be daily dates coding monthly data, so that you will make progress with

gen mdate = mofd(date_1) 
format mdate %tm

Otherwise you will have the most awful mess as these dates are irregularly spaced and between 28 and 31 days apart and few things in Stata will go right if you leave them as they are. It's clear to a person that these are really monthly dates but Stata needs to be told that.
