If you absolutely need to change the UUID, then you can always alter the superblock of the partition. This is a little scarry, though. The superblock is the first 512 bytes of the partition. You can edit it in the hex editor and the NTFS volume serial number should be in 0x48 to 0x4f. It's only 8 bytes long. Just alter a byte or two in that region, and you should have a new UUID.
This is NOT for the faint of heart, though.

and in /etc/rfstab change the /dev/sdaX or UUID= part of the line to LABEL=LALBELNAME
That should do the trick. You may need to install a new package to get ntfslabel, in Ubuntu, that package is ntfsprogs.
