Get the label widget (which is a child of the button) like this:

GtkWidget *label;
GtkWidget *button;

button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Open");
label = GTK_BIN (button)->child;

Then use GtkLabel functions to change the value or get the
string:

gtk_label_get (GTK_LABEL (label), &str);
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (label), "New");
