If you are referring to the partition label the drive is mounted under (for FAT it look like ABCD-1234)...
Dash → Drives → choose the drive on the left → choose the partition on the right → wheels icon → edit filesystem
Then unmount and mount the filesystem.

I don't use the dash it never showed me the right things always showing me things to buy on the web and other crap.

I talking about when I pull up my files under devices on the left "that name" and when I click on it up top it says 11104bec- blablabla "that name".

I remember you open a program and it's under labels, but where last time that took me 6 hours to read and find it was hoping someone could just tell me and save me time.
