When typing text into any area of iOS simply tap the Shift key twice. You will need to do this rather quickly as doing it slowly will simply disable the shift key.

To deactivate caps lock simply press the Shift key again once.
Should you wish to add numbers or additional characters by tapping the button underneath the Shift key then caps lock will be deactivated. This limitation makes it difficult for users who need to enter a combination of text, symbols, and numbers into the same area.
The alternative is to simply tap and hold the Shift key when entering letters.
