Autohotkey.  Link.

Or bruteforce it with a small microcontroller.  I've seen a ATTiny13 used for this kind of thing.

Build one of those NOT gates and wire it to the LED.

Sledgehammer to crack a nut, since one transistor would do!
OK, and probably one or two resistors as well.
transistor switch :-)

Good for him! Not quite what manfaux asked for though. One puny transistor is hung well enough with three legs.

How on earth do you come up with this stuff rip? It's a talent.  XD


To the OP-
Edit:
Crap! I just saw that you wanted the inverse of what the light already did. Caps "on" when light off, nevermind.  =S
