Handle the ItemDataBound event of your DataList.

Check the ItemType of the Item being bound. This will be in e.Item.ItemType.

If the ItemType == ItemType.Footer, use FindControl to get a refernce to the Label.

Then you can set it's properties.

Ex:

void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e){

if(e.Item.ItemType==ListItemType.Footer){

    Control c = e.Item.FindControl("Label1");
    Label l = (Label)c;
    l.Text = "My Text";
}

}
