Among many other options, you can start application Disk Utility and select the disk/device to rename. Unmount the partition if needed. You can then find an option for assigning new label to the disk - the Edit a Filesystem Label, click that to rename the device.

No need to unmount the partition for changing labels. – Takkat Jan 25 '14 at 13:53
