this is a LaTeX issue rather than LyX. One option is to use the
footmisc package
add \usepackage[symbol]{footmisc} to your latex preamble
You may want to use it with perpage as well as symbol option. It
defaults to Leslie Lamport's choice of symbols but there are other
built in choices or you can customise your own.
Another option could be to use the solution from
http://help-csli.stanford.edu/tex/latex-footnotes.shtml#symbol
but this would involve a customised footnote command and hence some
use of ERT in the document.
