Unfortunately this does not seem to be possible to do automatically in InDesign. What you can do is to insert all the desired spaces in one fell swoop with GREP Find/Change.

Following are the settings:
Find What: (\S)(:)
Change To: $1~S$2

As soon as you hit Change All, all the colons in your story will be preceded by a non-breaking space.
