Try like this...

if (e.CommandName == "ARCHIVE") //FOR SETTING THE VIEW LINK BUTTON
     {

             LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)e.CommandSource;
            lnkbtn.Text = "viewed";
            lnkbtn.Enabled = false;


     }

Try this using javascript:

 OnClientClick="javascript:if (this.value=='Archieve') this.value = 'Viewed';else this.value = 'Bookmark';"></asp:LinkButton>

Another way is:

if (e.CommandName == "ARCHIEVE")
    {
        LinkButton lnkButton = (LinkButton)e.CommandSource;
        if (lnkButton != null)

            if (lnkButton.Text.ToUpper() == "ARCHIEVE")
            {

                lnkButton.Text = "VIEWED";
            }

            else if (lnkButton.Text.ToUpper() == "VIEWED")
            {

                lnkButton.Text = "ARCHIEVE";
            }
    }

if (e.CommandName == "ARCHIVE") //FOR SETTING THE VIEW LINK BUTTON
{
    GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer;

    LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)row.FindControl("lnkClick"); // LinkButton ID
    lnkbtn.Text = "viewed";
    lnkbtn.Enabled = false;
}
