You can. I've done it. Speedy entry. Create triplet like you normally would. Option 3, then enter 4 for an eighth note to tell Finale that you want eighth note triplets. Put the cursor back over the first note and change to a dotted quarter. The "3" will show over the dotted quarter. If there are brackets, you can highlight the measure and the from the menu use Utilities > Change... > Tuplets to remove all the brackets. You can also use that to hide the number three as most older engravings do.
Another option would be to allow Independent Time Signatures on the staff. Change those measures to a compound meter, then use a Staff style to hide the time signature change. This method may cause problems in adding and editing hairpins.
