The mount points are defined in fstab, located at /etc/fstab

You could directly edit that file to change the mount points, but if you are using gnome it might be possible to do it via the gui.

Places>Computer

Right click on the volume you want to change, and select properties.
Under the "Volume" tab, click settings.
One of the options is "Mount Point"

I haven't tried it though.

I know that editing fstab will work, but you need to exercise caution because if you make an error somewhere, you might not be able to mount root.
