We can of course retrieve the widget, but can we change the label of

no, no and no, respectively<snip/>
However, things like labels are not changeable on the widget instanceI have seen this asked for before, but I do not remember if it was on
level. You're the first one to ask for it. Do you need it? What's your
use case?
this ml or on the IRC channel. The current workaround is to use either
an "output" or a "messages" widget in place of the label to gain full
control.
Well if people need it we better make it possible. After all, it's
possible to change e.g. the selection list, so why shouldn't it be
possible to change (or rather "override") the label?
Selection-list is used at the application level, whereas storing the label in the definition is mostly a convenience (it's part of the display data). Next, we will be asked to dynamically change the hint, help, accesskey, etc.
IMO, this is going too far. If some people need changing labels, the simplest way to do it is at the view level, i.e. in the template, possibly relying on data passed from the flowscript, but out of the form's responsibility.
