This won't work for single line captions. A \par is ineffectual in
restricted horizontal mode, which is what a single line caption would
end up in, leaving you without even a space between the colon and the
caption text. Anyway, if all lines are centered, we can do away with
the test entirely.
\def\figurename{Fig}
\makeatletter
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\centering
#1:\\ #2\par
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
\makeatother
Or if you still need different treatment for single line and multiple
line captions, use this instead:
\def\figurename{Fig}
\makeatletter
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#2}
\centerline{#1:}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
#2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb at xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
\makeatother
