Can i donate plasma with low iron?

Yes, but...: You did not say how low your iron stores have fallen, or if you are on replacements. You can donate assuming you are healthy and have normal blood volume. It may take you longer to replace the donation if stores are very low, so,in that case, get a work up first to determine why you are so low, and if it is safe for the donation.
