If you want to do this on a machine where you don't have root acces, or
you just don't want to muck with your XF86Config file, you can put the
following into ~/.xmodmaprc to make CapsLock be another control key:

 !
 ! Turn CapsLock into control
 !
 remove Lock = Caps_Lock
 keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
 add Control = Control_L

Then, run 

# xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

to enable it.
