Assign media to a tape in Veritas Backup Exex v9

Hi,

I'm using veritas backup exec v9 for servers, I have a media label for a tape which is in the drive but the label is not linked to that tape, which it should be. If I add the tape to the media set now it will set the overwrite property to 6 days after the day and time I add it to the media set but I need to use the tape tonight.

Is it possible to add this tape to the media set which does not allow the tape to be overwritten for 6 days but still get the tape to be written to tonight

or

is there a way of taking the media label I have at the moment for a monday tape and assigning to the tape that is in at the moment, as this label says the tape can be used tonight?

Thanks.
