tmux may be controlled from an attached client by using a key combination of a prefix key, 'C-b' (Ctrl-b) by default, followed by a command key. The default command key bindings are: C-b Send the prefix key (C-b) through to the application. C-o Rotate the panes in the current window forwards.
The first command unbind C-b removes the current Ctrl-b binding, the second command set-option -g prefix C-a set Ctrl-a as the main tmux command binding.
As you know, C-b is the default prefix in tmux . C-b C-b is used to send an actual C-b character to the terminal. If you switch the prefix to C-a , you just need to rebind some keys to update which one sends the send-prefix command.

For your .tmux.conf:
# You probably already put this in
set prefix C-a
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-a send-prefix
Maybe its an issue about the version I am using, but if the above code does not work for you, try this:
set -g prefix C-a
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-a send-prefix
