(Did not test this) You can use the variable "captionpos" to set the listings top or bottom. ("t" for top, and "b" for bottom). So, \lstsett of \lstsetb.

This is how you can change "Listing" into "Table":

To incorporate the table numbering, I am not sure: \renewcommand{thelstlisting}{thetable} does not work! It gives the listing the last table number, but does not increment it when the next listing is inserted. You can of course increment \thelstlisting and \thetable but there should be a much better way to do this.
