 * You can use CSS for such things
 * `.cat-title-bar { text-transform: capitalize; }` should work.
 * Most themes gives you a place to insert custom CSS so add it there. If not, then
   edit some of the .css files you already have but note that you will lose the 
   change once you receive an update.

 * Good warning by [@web-able](https://wordpress.org/support/users/web-able/). This
   is why we don’t recommend editing the theme files directly. Here are some other
   ways to add custom CSS:
    - If you have a child theme you can add the CSS to the style.css file.
    - If you are using WordPress 4.7+ you can use the “Additional CSS” option in
      the Customizer.
    - If your theme has a custom CSS option you can use that to add the CSS.
    - Install a plugin like [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-css/).
