I don't think there's a way to turn off caching in Safari itself. There are a couple of external add-ons that can turn it off (Safari Enhancer, for one).
Or you can delete the Safari folder in ~/Library/Caches, then via the Terminal run the command "touch ~/Library/Caches/Safari" - this will prevent the Safari cache folder from being recreated.
