I am using a USB microphone to do spectrum analysis. In the RTA graph, can I show the graph in dBA scale?

Thank you.

That doesn't really make sense for an RTA display. The graph will look the same for any weighting, since the RTA is showing the frequency content of the input. A weighting curve can be applied to that frequency content and the results added up to give an overall A weighted figure. The unweighted, C weighted and A weighted values for the rms input level are shown at the top right of the RTA graph, but you need the latest beta version to see those.
