This was how I did it in .NET using AsynchFileUpload and JavaScript...

<asp:Button ID="bUploadPicture" runat="server" Text="Upload Picture"
    OnClientClick="document.getElementById('<%=tFileUpload1.ClientID%>')
        .click();return (false);" />

<div style="display:none;visibility:hidden;">
     <asp:AsyncFileUpload ID="tFileUpload1" runat="server" 
        OnUploadedComplete="tFileUpload1_UploadedComplete" />
</div>

This is old, but wanted to offer another solution. You can use jQuery on a standard HTML hyperlink and fire asp:FileUpload on click of the HREF. Just hide the asp:FileUpload at design and doctor the href any way you'd like.

Link

<a href="#" id="lnkAttachSOW">Attach File</a>

asp:FileUpload

<asp:FileUpload ID="fuSOW" runat="server" style="visibility:hidden;"/>

Then the jQuery:

$("#lnkAttachSOW").click(function () {
    $("#fuSOW").click();
});

Some third party tools provide this option. For example, we use the Telerik Upload control:

Changing the text of the Browse/select button

This isn't technically possible for security purposes, so the user cannot be misled.

However, there are a couple of workarounds, although these require working with the raw HTML rather than the .NET server control - take a look at http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html for one example.
