HDD partitions are not user nameable. They are recognised as /dev/hdxN (where x is a,b,c etc and N is a number). These are picked up by the kernel and cannot be even named, forget renamed. These are however, placed on mount points like /, /usr etc. It is possible to change the mount points, provided it is a data partition. If you do it on one of the system partitions on a running system, the system will break. On a running system such things are not advocated. These can be done on a non-mounted system from a rescue disk set or a stand-alone distro. If system partitions are involved, the /etc/fstab should be suitably modified before booting. BTW, What is your exact requirement ?
