baratc Bar charts have a property for displaying the data labels "showDataLabels". Just set that to true. 
I do not think its possible to change what the label is since its just the data point that was passed in. One idea I can think of to accomplish what you want is to first convert the values into a percentage of the whole. Then when you pass them into the chart they will already be a percent so when you show the labels they will be correct. 
Here is an example of a stacked bar chart with data labels. 
 
a!barChartField( 
 categories: {"Americas", "EMEA", "APAC"}, 
 series: { 
 a!chartSeries(label: "Referrals", data: {19, 8, null}), 
 a!chartSeries(label: "Existing Clients", data: {11, 16, 10}), 
 a!chartSeries(label: "Tradeshow Attendees", data: {14, 12, 7}) 
 }, 
 yAxisTitle: "Active Opportunities", 
 stacking: "NORMAL", 
 showLegend: true, 
 showDataLabels:true 
)
