I have a Audi 4A Convertible 2004.I took it back from US. I like to change the meters to show KM instead of Miles. How do I reprogram the computer to do that

There is a chance that the gauges will have to be exchanged for a metric unit. The cars' computer might have to be re-programmed as well.
I suggest going to a dealership for safety reasons. There are so many sensitive, (and expensive), integrated electronics that can be damaged.

You could use 100KPH as a guide. 100KPH is around 60mph. 200KPH is almost 120mph.
