Yes.

Insert the floppy into the drive.

Use the Mount.app in the lower right corner of the desktop. Make sure that the floppy (fd0) status is green.

Then save your file to:

/mnt/auto/floppy

Good Luck.

I am assuming that your floppy disk is not full and the write-protect tab is not enabled on the disk itself.

You can run pathetic writer as user root by opening up an xterminal window and type:

sudo pw

Hopefully then you can save the files.
