No, you can't use the deposit for that.

Pay the real estate agent yourself and then pursue the tenant separately for breaking the lease, however that is done in California. You may be able to use the security towards part of the unpaid rent but check with a lawyer and/or read your local laws to see what is allowed there.

For what it's worth, I would never trust a tenant to advertise and show a place, even if they agreed to it.
