OK, I had a second look. What you want may not be that easy to 
accomplish with simple setup commands (at least, I didn't manage to make 
it work). So I see two possibilities, one clean and difficult, the other 
easier, but somewhat hackish:

1. Edit a local copy of cont-au.bst and insert a function that will make 
the author name uppercase. bst is infamous for its incomprehensible 
syntax, but it appears to be possible. this would be the proper way. 
google is your friend here.

2. ConTeXt produces a .bbl file from which it retrieves the 
bibliographical information. The authorname used in the \cite command is 
captured in a key=value of the form
a={{Hagen}},
Write a simple lua script which will make the captured name uppercase 
and write everything out to a new file. Then, in your preamble, replace 
the \setupbibtex[database=...] line with
\usepublications[<name>.bbl]
So this is something you would do at the very end of the editing 
process, when you're sure that all the references are in the bbl file. 
It may also be possible to hook a lua function into the process when 
ConTeXt typesets the value from the bbl, but that's beyond my knowledge, 
Hans is the only one who knows the internals of the mkiv bib mechanism 
well enough to say if/how this may work.
