Which model have you got? The earlier ones couldn't do it without software support. The later ones had six solder pads and a couple jumpers you could change to add a DPDT switch that served as a CAPS LOCK switch. If you have the "two-piece" keyboard (there's a little PC board hanging off of the main keyboard) then you are in luck. If you look at the little PC board then look near the CONTROL/RESET switch and see if you can find a 2x3 pattern of holes with exposed metal around them and two "bow ties" nearby. You may have to partially disassemble the keyboard to find them, and you will definitely need to do that to add the Caps Lock switch and cut the bow ties (the bow ties are connections that make the board think there is a switch connected but locked in one position, and you cut them with an exacto knife when you install the real switch).
