The (free) eCOS OS includes support for the compact flash peripheral AND FAT file system. It would require getting up to speed on eCOS, but its built in and ready to go.

Another alternative is to use the new (in 5.0) host file system. This allows you to open a file through JTAG (the file resides in your PC, but Nios opens it just as if it were there in its own private file system).
