Because win98 uses FAT32, absolutely.
You simply need to mount the partition. This must be done as root.
First, create a directory for it to be mounted in. This will be C:

Code:

mkdir /win98

Now, mount the drive (drive label may vary)

Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda /win98

See this for more information

Code:

man mount

Then, create, or move, your file:

Code:

mv BASEFILE.EXT /win98/path/to/TARGETFILE.EXT
