A counter is just a counter and by using \setcounter you can only specify a
number, not a string.
You should let LaTeX do the heavy lifting for you and decide on how your figure
should be numbered. Is the first number the section, and then the number of the
figure in that section? Is the "a" part of a subfigure?
In that case you can put somthing like this in your preamble:
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
and then use subfigure to get the a and b etc.
