ubuntu/kde - defining labels for partitions

I've got kubuntu 12.04 LTS. I use dolphin file manager a lot. On the left I've got Places panel, which you can see below:

The question is - how can I configure my system to display my custom labels for those partitions? For example, there is a partition called "Nowy" - this is a windows partition that has been named "Nowy" from windows level. And during installation ubuntu figured it out somehow. I get confused which partition is which and I want to name them. I checked /etc/fstab, but didn't find where to put partition label there.

edit:

When I open KDE partition manager, I can display the partition properties. Unfortunately, I'm unable to change/set partition label. Is it possible only at creation time (in my case - during system install)?

Install GParted with:

sudo apt-get install gparted

Launch it, right click the each partition and select Label. Type the label and then apply all changes.

It is probably doable with KDE's partition manager too.

unfortunately, I'm unable to change/set the label... don't know why. I've updated my question. – ducin – 2014-07-12T16:23:00.883

@tkoomzaaskz what if you unmount first (except root partition whose label can be changed from a live DVD/USB with GParted / KDE partition manager)? – Cornelius – 2014-07-12T16:52:09.333
