You don't say what version of Finale you're using. If you're using Fin2007 or later, select the measure tool and double-click the measure you want to be 108a. Under Options, uncheck Include in Measure Numbering. Now Finale will skip this measure; the one before will be 108, and the one after will be 109.
I don't think Finale can actually display a measure number with numbers and letters, like 108a, so you'll probably have to create a measure expression and attach it to that measure.
If you're using an earlier version of Finale, you'll need to create a second measure number region. Select the measure tool, and do Measure | Measure Numbers | Edit Regions. You probably only have one region defined. Select it, and set it to include measures 1 through 108. Then click the Add button. Define this second measure to include measures 110 through 999, and set First Measure in Region to 109. You now have 2 measure regions, leaving out the 109th measure. Again, you'll probably need a measure expression to get 108a on that measure.
