I have not used MeshData and may be some of the LibMesh experts in the group can help you with that. However, all you need is a Petsc Vec object for F_nodal since you can simply call Petsc MatMult to form RHS once you have Petsc Mat for MassMatrix and F_nodal. If you know the global DOF id for each mesh node and the corresponding f_value then you can set values into F_nodal using Petsc functions.
