Actually, there is at least one method to change the volume label on
vfat partitions, that worked for me to change the label of a usb key.
Here it is:

1) Install mtools (available on "main" for 5.10):

apt-get install mtools

2) Edit /etc/mtools.conf and add the following line:

drive c: file="/dev/sda1"

change "/dev/sda1" to the name of the device that contains the vfat
partition you which to change the volume label.

3) To change the label, use this command:

mlabel c:

it will ask for the new label.
