Swapping the Control (CTRL) and Capslock keys in Fedora 18 can be done with the gnome-tweak-tool.
First Open the GNOME Tweak Tool. It is not installed by default, so you may need to install it first using sudo yum install gnome-tweak-tool
Select the Typing category from the list on the left hand side of the Tweak Tool
In the dropdown box for ctrl, choose Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock
I'm stumped here, unfortunately. You can re-map Caps Lock by going to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Typing and setting the "Compose Key" to Caps Lock. That will keep you from turning on Caps Lock, but I haven't found how to map it to being a Control key.
