Yes, you can. You can see all the current preferences with 

tshark -G currentprefs | grep wlan

The preferences are shared between Wireshark and Tshark, so you can set
preferences in Wireshark first and then use Tshark.

Or you can edit the preferences file in a text editor before starting Tshark.

Or you can use command line options to set preferences like this:

tshark -o "wlan.enable_decryption: TRUE" -o "wlan.wep_key1: wpa-pwd:1f2e3d4c5b:myssid -i wifi etc...

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
