Look in Preferences File Formats and tell LyX what program you want to
use to view PDF.

the capion starts.
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.

I'm not a LyX maintainer, but this point has been discussed already AFAIR.
babel is loaded after the preamble without arguments, so that you may
load is yourself in the preamble (even with a different option than the class
language option)
to get your result:
\usepackage{babel}
\renewcommand{\figurename}[1]{FIG #1}
should do it.
If you want the behaviour permanently, you may change the cfg file, e.g. in
frenchb.cfg:
\addto\captionsfrench{\def\figurename{{\scshape Figure}}}
may be changed in
\addto\captionsfrench{\def\figurename{{\scshape Fig.}}}
With TL 2005 (and I guess with TeteX 3), frenchb.cfg can be changed in a local
dir ~/.texlive2005
