You can't. If the package is loaded then the package options are processed
and will not be executed later anymore.

But you can test, if the package was loaded with the option:

\@ifpackagewith{otherpackage}{rightcaption}{%
  \renewcommand*{\rightcaption}{Left}%
}{}

In case of global option, you can catch the option yourself in the
package.
