Is it possible to change the caption of a table so that I obtain
"TABLE 1 - bla bla"
rather than
"Table 1: bla bla"
(TABLE has to be in capitals and the colon changed to a hyphen)

No. This is absolutely hard coded. You'll have to use Word
instead.
HTH. HAND.

PS: OTOH, if you would search the FAQ, it might tell you about a
    package that solves your problem.
Yes, you are right. From Russian FAQ: There is a package ccaption. With 
the help of it you can change the ':' to, for example, '.' . Code:
\usepackage{ccaption}
\captiondelim{. } % This is a 'point and space'
For detail see manual for ccaption package.

P.S. The original text in russian. This is a translated part.
