Yes using File class like this example from the docs.

func save(): 
        var file = File.new()
        file.open("user://save_game.dat", File.WRITE)
        file.store_string(content)
        file.close()

func load():
    var file = File.new()
    file.open("user://save_game.dat", File.READ)
    var content = file.get_as_text()
    file.close()
    return content

You may need to read about Data Paths here to see where the files are stored in the os here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.3/tutorials/io/data_paths.html
