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
