Sidney,
This is a one step process using the MapBasic Window:
1. First make a copy of your table
2. Open the MapBasic window (Options > Show Mapbasic Window)
3. Type in:
update YOUR_TABLE set obj=CreatePoint(CentroidX(obj),CentroidY(obj))
where YOUR_TABLE is the name of your mapinfo table.
Hope this helps,
