You need to "Right Mouse Click" on the pads.
 
If the Pad has an Alphabetical name this will appear -
 
 
If the pad has Numeric pin assignment, this will appear -

I'm trying to rename the Pins on a diode from C/A to 1/2 in a molded body using "Right click" -> "Properties" but when changing to a numeric value I get the message "Use 'Pin Reorder' to generate numeric pin names". However 'Pin Reorder' is not available when I right click on the pin. (It comes up fine with e.g. SOT23). 

A workaround is to set the family to "polarized capacitor" but I would like to have the pin names to 1 and 2 for the diodes as well.
