ncap2 -s 'Times[dimension_name]="2016-05-11_06:00:00   "' in.nc out.nc

For netCDF3 character arrays, pad the value to the size of the
underlying character dimension_name (shown by spaces above).
netCDF4 strings have no such restriction and this will work:

ncap2 -4 -s 'Times="2016-05-11_06:00:00"s' in.nc out.nc

Note the "s" for "string" after the end-quote.
