XSLT 2.0 has fn:upper-case() and fn:lower-case() functions. However in case you are using of XSLT 1.0, you can use translate():

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />
  <xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />
  <xsl:value-of select="translate(doc, $smallcase, $uppercase)" />
</xsl:template>
