From the command line

Replace /dev/sdxN with your partition (e.g. /dev/sdc1).

    for FAT32:

    sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdxN ::"my_label"

    or:

    sudo fatlabel /dev/sdxN my_label

    for NTFS:

    sudo ntfslabel /dev/sdxN my_label

    for exFAT:

    sudo exfatlabel /dev/sdxN my_label

    for ext2/3/4:

    sudo e2label /dev/sdxN my_label

    for BTRFS:

    sudo btrfs filesystem label /dev/sdxN my_label
