I can't tell you exactly why it has to take が if that is what you want to know.
All I know is that you express potential with が.

Edit:
I hope I didn't mis-understand you; When I wrote the above, I was under the impression you wanted to just know if をできる was correct.

But now I have re-read it, I think you want an explanation of the linguistics (If that is the right term to use)
