This kind of issue has nothing to do with LyX: It's a LaTeX matter. (The
same is true of your third question, already answered by someone else.)
So if you want to do this kind of customization, get a copy of /The
LaTeX Companion/, which is a good guide to some of the most commonly
used LaTeX packages. Try putting this in ERT at the beginning of your
document:
\renewcommand{\figurename}[1]{FIG #1}
It seems only to work, however, with some classes: It works with book,
but not with paper. It does seem to work with report, so maybe it will
work for you.

NOTE TO LYX MAINTAINERS: It does not work to put the above command in
the preamble. I'd count that as a bug. (This is true both in 1.3.7 and
in 1.4.1.) The reason seems to be that the babel package is loaded only
after the rest of the preamble has been.
