Change it to anything you like then with "mount".

The quickest source of information for this:
#mount --help
Usage: mount [OPTION] [<win32path> <posixpath>]
-b, --binary text files are equivalent to binary files
(newline = \n)
-c, --change-cygdrive-prefix change the cygdrive path prefix to <posixpath>
-f, --force force mount, don't warn about missing mount
point directories
-i, --import-old-mounts copy old registry mount table mounts into the current
mount areas
-p, --show-cygdrive-prefix show user and/or system cygdrive path prefix
-s, --system add mount point to system-wide registry location
-t, --text (default) text files get \r\n line endings
-u, --user (default) add mount point to user registry location
-x, --executable treat all files under mount point as executables
-X, --cygwin-executable treat all files under mount point as cygwin
executables
-m, --mount-commands write mount commands to replace user and
system mount points and cygdrive prefixes
