swift - set UILabel without reload of custom UITableViewCell

Is it possible to set a value for a UILabel in a custom UITableViewCell without reloading the cell?

I've tried many permutations of:

let indexPath = NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0)
let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath) as! CustomTableViewCell1
cell.customLabel.text = "text goes here"

.. and I don't understand why this won't work. I've got a UITextField in the UITableViewCell, and when I set the textField value I'd like only the label to update, but not reload the entire cell. Any suggestions?

If you want to update the UIViews, you need to put them in main thread:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{
   cell.customLabel.text = "text goes here"
})
