Did you try to just move the text?  

  Select the text (not the component, just the text of the value attibute), 
  type e x, or (Edit->Edit Text) select Middle-Middle alignment
  move the alignment mark to the center of the resistor.
  
For further resistors, copy this resistor, so you do not need to allign
every instance again.  Attach a footprint attribute first, so that is
copied as well, with your favorite resistor footprint.

You can open a symbol file in gschem to make changes, and save the
changed version for your project.
