GParted dialog resulting from "device > set disklabel" Edit (24.7 KiB, image/png)

I found that selecting a partition in GParted and clicking "device > set disklabel" allows the user to change the label but apparently this results in the erasing of all data on the drive/partition. Stepping away from any particular OS for a moment, is it possible, theoretically, to change the official (presumably hardwired) "label" of a partition without erasing the partition?
