The first ting that you need to do is to load the clipboard with the "Figure Caption 2" paratag.

This is done by placing the cursor anywhere in a paragraph that is tagged with "Figure Caption 2". Then from the Edit menu > Copy Special > Paragraph Format to load the clipboard.

Now, using the Find dialogue, search for the "Figure Caption 1" (all of the text, else it will stop at any Figure Caption paratag). In the Change box, use the "By Pasting" option to apply the desired paratag.

Another option might be to use an ExtendScript that was created for this some time ago:http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/10/extendscript-of-the-week-change-styles-parachartable.html
