Of course there is. Just take a look at the boot floppies, for example.
Or think of the floppy image I used for that mini bridge hack...

Or if you want to use features FAT doesn't offer, like
owners/permissions/255 char filenames.

But I guess for many purposes, mformat and either mtools or
mount_msdosfs will be enough.

Kind regards,
