Hmm, not sure about the displaying part. Do you have the "Show
Whitespace" option enabled and are referring to that?

About editing, Geany should detect if in the opened file spaces are
used for indentation and then automatically insert spaces instead of
tabs when pressing TAB or indent code in another way (Ctrl-I or
whatever). You can check this in the statusbar, the fifth field says
"TAB", "SP" or "T/S" which indicates the used indentation of the
current file. Additionally you can change or enforce the used
indentation for the current document in the menu:
Document->Indent Type->...
And of course, you have a whole bunch of more settings in the
preferences dialog but note that these apply for all files.

Not sure whether this really answers your question, though.

Regards,
Enrico
