Hi,

you could redefine those commands:

\renewcommand*\figurename{\textsc{Figure}}
\renewcommand*\tablename{\textsc{Table}}

But If you are using babel, it should be different.

Using the caption package, you can also customize the label, which is supposed to be "Figure" or "Table".

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=sc]{caption}

Other capabilities of this package are described in its documentation.

Best regards

...but be aware that these commands will be used on other places as well, e.g. in \autoref.
