1. Recently I loaded Lyx 1.3.7. In that it is not showing pdf viewer. The error is "No information for viewing pdf".
Go to Edit->Preferences...->File Formats, highlight PDF (ps2pdf) in the format list, type the name of your viewer (for instance, acrord32 if you use Acrobat Reader) in the Viewer field, click Modify and Apply. Repeat for PDF (pdflatex) and PDF (dvipdfm), then click Save.
You may also need to go to Edit->Preferences...->Paths and add the path to your viewer (for instance, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader) to the PATH Prefix (separated from the rest by a semicolon).
If you use Acrobat Reader, take a look at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinTips#toc1. It's a work-around for the problem that you can't preview changes to a document in Reader if an earlier version of the document is open (in other words, you have to remember to close the PDF before you edit and preview again).
2. In the figure caption I want lyx to write "FIG" instead of "Figure" before the capion starts.
In the body of your document, before the first figure, insert a TeX inset (also known as ERT, either Insert->TeX, Ctrl-L, or use the TEX button on the tool bar), and enter \renewcommand{\figurename}{FIG.} in the inset.
