How can I capitalize all the table names in the Table of Contents, List of Tables?
I am not talking about the headings, but the actual entries. E.g., the first entry in the picture is ok, as it is uppercase, while the others are not.

Here's one possibility, using the titlesec package. The idea is to define two commands allowing you to switch the section title formatting as many times as required; \CentSections gives you centered uppercased headings and \StdSections gives you the standard flushed, sentence-case headings.
\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\titleformat*{\section}{\bfseries\normalsize}
\titleformat*{\subsection}{\bfseries\normalsize}
\titleformat*{\subsubsection}{\bfseries\normalsize}
\titlecontents{section} % set formatting for \section - \subsection must be formatted separately
[2.3em] % adjust left margin
{\rmfamily} % font formatting
{\contentslabel{2.3em}} % section label and offset
{\hspace*{-2.3em}}
{\titlerule*[1pc]{.}\contentspage}
\newcommand\CentSections{
\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\bfseries\normalsize\centering}{\thesection}{1em}{\MakeUppercase}
}
\newcommand\StdSections{
\titleformat{\section}
{\normalfont\bfseries\normalsize}{\thesection}{1em}{}
}

Use the optional arguments to
\captionand/or\section. EDITED to follow egreg's emphatic recommendation.Based on a follow-up query by the OP, here is a way to get just the LOT (but not the LOF) to automatically capitalize the table captions:
