I am not clear whether 1 0 is as much 
as you want here, but I think the answer
is the same for more extensive examples: 

you need to negate your numeric variable -- or more 
generally set up a one-to-one reversal -- and then 
attach value labels that show what you
want. 

sysuse foreign, clear
gen newforeign = - foreign
label def newforeign -1 "1" 
label val newforeign newforeign
tab newforeign 

For more complicated problems, check out -labmask-
from -labutil- on SSC.
