Not clear. What is "request to label, exactly? What do you want to achieve? What is label_? i? Where you declare it?
If you are talking about UI, you should tag the UI library (WPF, Form, ASP.NET? what?), provide fully-qualified type name of "Label". A number of unrelated classes are named "Label". Which one is yours?

With a bit of casting you could do the following

C#

For(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
  Control holderControl = Form.FindControl(String.Format("Label_{0}",i));
  if(holdControl != null) ((label)holderControl).Text = "My New Text";
}
