I'm sure more experienced hands will add comments here, but I believe
that's strictly dependent upon having the correct filesystem drivers
available on the system in question. Once you've mounted a Windows-type
file system on Linux you can manipulate the files that live there just as
if they were created on a real OS :)

I suspect that you are going to need to supply more information to
get a good answer.

1) Which platform is the python program running on Windows/Linux?

2) If Linux, how is the FAT (or NTFS) partition mounted (smbclient)?

3) If Windows, you can ftp the file to the Linux partition (see Python
ftplib) or use SAMBA to expose a share to the Windows machine and just
copy the file (with or without Python).

HTH,
