Solution 1

You want to use the FindControl method from the containing page:

Button btn = myUserControl.FindControl("ID_OF_BUTTON") as Button;

if(btn != null)
{
   btn.Text = "Clear";
}

Jim's solution will surely work but here is another way to it.

In user control:

C#

public string ButtonLabel
    {
        get
        {
           return ID_OF_BUTTON.Text;
        }
        set
        {
           ID_OF_BUTTON.Text = value;
        }
    }

And in the containing page:

NameOfUserControl.ButtonLabel = "Clear";

Solution 3

write that text in a label so that you can check label.text and then
you can change the
button name as button.text="DONE"
