If you're referring to the control's name on the screen, you can't change the label while the VI is running because it's part of the control's definition. Instead, make the label invisible and the caption visible and use the property Caption.
If this doesn't help, elaborate more on what it is you need.

Hi Labprog,

create the "Property Node", then choose "Description" and then "Change to Write".
Now you can connect a String-Control (or constant) with your own description to the property node.
