If only the first 2 characters are alpha for all possible entries, then you can force the string to uppercase using the 'toUpperCase()' method.

If you want this only after the entry, you can use the Validate tab and a custom vailidation scirpt:

// force entry to upper case
event.value = event.value.toUpperCase();

If you want it converted you enter each keystroke, then the coding gets more complex and you would need to provide more information about the inputted keystrokes. You can do this with the RegEx object.

You can search for "Title Case" for code to perform title case, but to combine them will be more comples and require RegEx processing.
