Or clone (bcopy?) the tape to a new tape with the right label.
For your own sanity, I'd suggest you stick a label on the tape, give Bacula the
same name to put on the tape, and leave it that way. My guess is you have a
bunch of "spare" tapes that get sucked in as required, yes? In which case I'd
suggest you use Bacula volume pools to manage them: have a "Backup" pool and a
"Scratch" pool, and tapes called something else, like "BKUP0027".
Initialise/label new tapes, giving Bacula the "BKUP0027" name, and put them in
the Scratch pool. When Bacula needs a new tape it'll suck it out of the Scratch
pool and put it in the Backup pool; you can get a list from Bacula of which
tapes are in which pool.

There's no way I known.
The label is inside the head volume ..
So you can just extract (brestore) the content somewhere, make a new label and
re-backup it
