No, you can't.

For Binding, use

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

with

<Label Content="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:DateTime.Now}, StringFormat='{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}'}" />

Though, you can set it from Code behind like myLabelControl.Content = DateTime.Now;, but I would totally avoid this.
