Doing such thing is a major work when you work directly with
LaTeX. However, there are packages which do that for you, in
particular the latest version of titlesec, which should allow you to
do what you want with a couple of LaTeX commands. Eventually, I'd like
to see something like this supported directly by LyX...

There are a lot of things which rate very high on the wish list,
unfortunately.
