It's very easy to have a caption on the generated output: name the code.
Hence, the following code block:

  #+NAME: calculation
  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (+ 1 1)
  #+END_SRC

will produce:

  #+RESULTS: calculation
  2

If you add a caption to the results, like:

  #+CAPTION: Basic arithmetic
  #+RESULTS: calculation
  2

you can update the source block without ever needing to remove the
caption.

At some point, it would be nice if Babel could find captioned anonymous
results (so you wouldn't even have to name the block). I'll have a look
at it. But meanwhile, this solution is sufficient.
