                onselectedindexchanged="drop1_SelectedIndexChanged">
                 <asp:ListItem>SELECT</asp:ListItem>

C#

protected void drop1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      var select = drop1.SelectedItem.Value;
      if (select == "Times New Roman")
      {
          Label6.Font.Name = "Times New Roman";
      }
      else if (select == "Tahoma")

try that using javascript it id more faster than code behind.. :)

JavaScript

function ChangeStyle(FontValue) {

          document.getElementById("MyLabel").style.fontFamily= FontValue;
      }

ASP.NET

<asp:dropdownlist id="drop1" runat="server" onchange="ChangeStyle(this.value)" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
           <asp:listitem value="Arial Black">SELECT</asp:listitem>
             <asp:listitem value="Arial Black">Arial Black</asp:listitem>
           <asp:listitem value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</asp:listitem>
           <asp:listitem value="Tahoma">Tahoma</asp:listitem>
       </asp:dropdownlist>

 <asp:label id="MyLabel" runat="server" text="My Name is Nirav" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:label>
