labels = $('label')
$.each(labels, function(i, label){
    if($(label).html() == 'Lobby Template:' ){
    $(label).attr("id", "test")
    }
})

I like this syntax:

var $el = $("<label>", {
    id: "test",
    text: "Lobby Template:"
});

You can do it like this

$('label').attr('id','test');

$('label')[0].id="test";

You need to have some sort of hook to identify your element. http://jsfiddle.net/RQ3vH/1/ is a demo.
