On a vanilla setup with Emacs and AUCTeX `C-c C-a' is undefined, so I'm
not sure what function you mean here.  Probably `align-current'.

You could do `M-x customize-variable <RET> LaTeX-verbatim-environments
<RET>' and add the tabular environment to the list.  Then this
environment will be treated and shown in AUCTeX as being verbatim-like.
This involves using a monospaced font for display.

Or you could use `font-lock-add-keywords' to use the `fixed-pitch' to
the contents of tabular environments:

(eval-after-load "latex"
  '(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (font-lock-add-keywords
                'latex-mode
                '(("\\\\begin{tabular}\\(\\(.\\|\n\\)+?\\)\\\\end{tabular}" 1
                   'fixed-pitch))))))

Besides, please don't send HTML mails.
