Only the names. They're identical volumes.
One ml is equivalent to one cc
1 mililiter is the SI unit of measurment and is referred to as mL for measurment tools. cc is the same as cubic centimeter which refers to the volume of the substance occupying the space in the measurement tool. 1 cc is the same as ml and either term can be used. There are 3 cc of liquid in a 3 ml syringe. But you can also say... There is a 3 ml bottle of vitamin syrup.
0.8 ml is not equivalent to 1 cc. The ml and the cc are identical volumes, so 0.8 ml = 0.8 cc.
On a 1 ml syringe, 2.5 mg would depend on the concentration of the solution being measured. If you know the concentration (for example, if it’s 1 mg/ml), 2.5 mg would be indicated at the 2.5 mark on the syringe, which is halfway between the 2 ml and 3 ml marks. Always ensure you confirm the concentration of the medication to ensure accurate dosing.
