WinEdt already distinguish between them. However, the glyph used
for this character (ANSI #160) is the same as that one for the
ordinary space (font property). If you want to see nbsp differently
on your screen you can do the following:

1. Add a translation

  #160 -> "_"

to screen translations (you can use any character; here we chose
underline).

2. In Highlighting -> Filter sets enable the highlighting so that
you can distinguish proper underlines from translated ones. The
record is already there (enabled only for Binary Mode). You have to
enable it for TeX or all modes (and possibly adjust colors to your
taste):

FILTER_SET="Space (160)"
  ENABLED=1
  MODE_FILTER="Binary"
  SET="[#160]"
  BEFORE=""
