The hook `org-capture-mode-hook' will be run in your special
capture buffer. You can override the "C-c C-c" binding only there.

Even if I could let bind the function at the right time, I would avoid
that solution, as I can't garantuee that this global hack will not break
other parts of Emacs (other captures, output filters, threads, timers,
etc.).
