Basically VA is the same as watt. Kilo means thousand, Mega (abbreviatted M) means a million.

Answer

The watt and the volt ampere are used to measure two different quantities and, so, cannot be directly converted one to the other. The watt is used to measure 'true power', while the volt ampere is used to measure 'apparent power'.

There is, though, a relationship between the two, as the true power of a load is equal to its apparent power multiplied by the power factor of that load. So, if you know the power factor (which can vary from 0 to 1), then you can determine the true power of a load, if you are given its apparent power.

Incidentally, SI doesn't recognise either the volt ampere (apparent power) or reactive volt ampere (reactive power); all forms of 'power' are measured in watts in SI. The volt ampere and the reactive volt ampere are best described as 'traditional' units.
