Did you create your own folder in /media for that mount? If you did, all you should have to do is to unmount it first, rename the folder, then update/etc/fstabto the new folder name then remount the drive by usingmount -aorsudo mount -a.

Use tune2fs to change your volume label (suppose the volume is sdb1)
sudo tune2fs -L LenovoDrive /dev/sdb1
Note that current Ubuntus actually mount at /media/username/xxx, so
you must be running an old copy. Consider updating, 18.04 has just been released.

This works for partitions with ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems. But you need another tool for FAT32 and yet other tools for other file systems.gpartedcan do it for several file systems (if you have a graphical desktop environment).
