If you just want the character "~", simply insert a text object (Insert-Text or "x" key) and in the box saying "expression", enter ~.

If what you're saying is you want a trill (tr~~~~), see http://nwc-scriptorium.org/faq.html#3.6 for a detailed explanation on how to make them sound. To get them shown, you'll have to download an appropriate font, configure it using File-Page Setup by going to the "Fonts" tab, and changing a "User Font", then go to Insert-Text, enter the trill characters in expression, and in display font, choose the font you changed.
For a font to use for trills, I recommend either one of Lawrie Pardy's -Dings fonts or BoxMarks.
