click the drive - unmount the drive - change label and you're done!
mount again and everything is fine beware don't change anything else or you can destroy all your data!
You can easily relabel your flash drive or your NTFS partition using gparted-partition manager.
Install Gparted:

Goto System-->Administration-->Gparted
Change the storage device to your Flash drive.A window will open,right click the partition and choose label to rename it.
Note: The arrow points to your storage device.By default it shows your harddisk paritions.Click there to change your storage device to your flash drive. Note: Right click on it and choose label and enter your new label there..

1GParted removes all the data on the partition on changing / creating partition label! Haven't you noticed that?– BucicDec 31, 2011 at 10:44

For vfat (fat32) filesystem you can rename disk with:
sudo dosfslabel /dev/sdXY new_label
(where /dev/sdXY
is partition you would like to rename)
If the filesystem is ntfs do:
sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdXY new_label
Note: device should to be unmounted first.
