Nobody mentioned script.

As Harry described, put the same date field on the layout twice.

Format one to display the date as date, format the other the display date as
day name. FileMaker Help does describe how to do this quite well.
That wasn't me - that was the person called "VoicesInMyHead", and I
don't mean the little voice in my own head ... this time. ;o)

Personally, I would probably not bother with two versions. I would use just
one field formatted to display both the day name and the date all in one
whack, but that's just me.
That's another good way. It really depends on how the original person
wanted the data to look and what else they needed it for.

Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)
