You might want to checkout FileIO class, more specifically Writetextasync method for writing text files.

You can't write to any location from Windows Store apps because they are sandboxed, you can only write to app's local folder: 

string text = "Hello, world";

StorageFolder folder = ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile file = await folder.CreateFileAsync("data.txt");

if (file != null)
{
    await FileIO.WriteTextAsync(file, text);
}
