[Athar]

There are no FAT drives, only FAT partitions and those don't have partition tables.
But all of that and much more is explained in the link helios posted.

how to write the directory structure of FAT??

o.O It seems as if you want someone to tell you exactly how to do this. I doubt anyone is going to have the time or inclination to do it.

You'll just have to spend more time programming and reading the specification until it makes sense to you.

Maybe if you provided the code you already have and where you are having specific difficulties as well as what steps you've taken towards solving your problem, someone would be more forthcoming with help.
