I guess you are exporting to Beamer?  If so, the easiest way would be to
redefine caption to something else.  The following seems to work but I'm
sure there are prettier ways of doing this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+startup: beamer
#+options: H:1
#+latex_header: \newcommand{\mycaption}[1]{\newline \hfill #1 \hfill \newline} \let\caption\mycaption

* the slide
#+caption: This is some very catchy caption
#+attr_LaTeX: :width 0.5\textwidth
[[file:~/test/myfig.jpg]]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

hope this helps,
eric
