I do not use this style, but reading
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/german/dinat/index.html
shows that you have to use natbib. Therefor, check "use natbib" in the 
Documents dialog (xforms: Extras, qt: Bibliography). Then you can chose 
between different citation styles in the citation dialog.

I don't know if that is because of DIN but it is a matter of how it is coded 
in the bst file. You can modify dinat.bst in an editor like this (untested):

Add around line 120:

FUNCTION {push.edition}   { "Aufl." }

and modify the function in line 880ff, i.e. replace with this:

FUNCTION {push.edition}
% like in entry
{ edition empty$
    { "" }
    { edition "~" * push.edition * } 
  if$
}
