Yes.  Say your tape has volume name of "A001".

In bconsole:
purge volume=A001
delete volume=A001
(you could probably skip the purge command, the delete should do the same 
thing.)

stick in your new tape and then use the "label" command.

If you use barcodes, then obviously the new barcode must match the old one and 
you 
would use "label slots=1 barcodes" if your new tape is in slot 1.

In either case, the label command will ask you which pool to put the volume in 
and 
you should make it match the old tape.
