I believe that could only be done with scripting. If you don't get an answer here, please ask in the InDesign Scripting forum:

You cannot select all tables of a document with InDesign's user interface.
But you can access all tables ( and all cells ) of a document with scripting.
One approach is this:
app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem().properties =
{
autoGrow : false ,
height : "10mm"
};
Just to give you an idea.
This little code snippet written in ExtendScript (JavaScript) is accessing all tables of all stories in the active document and their cells.
And sets the property autoGrow of every cell to false and the height of every cell in all accessed tables* to a fixed height of "10 mm".
Tables nested in table cells are not accessed by this.
