1. Copy the PACKAGE.rpm /tmp
2. Convert it to cpio with rpm2cpio.
#rpm2cpio /tmp/PACKAGE.rpm > /tmp/PACKAGE.cpio
3. Extract the contents
#cpio --extract \
--preserve-modification-time \
--make-directories < /tmp/PACKAGE.cpio
4. Copy the desired file to the appropriate location manually.

No RPM deals with this. This is a portion of the kernel modules
which would be there in your /lib/modules.
Check if they are there, and then insert modules with insmod
#locate vfat.o
#insmod /path/to/vfat.o
#lsmod
Same for msdos.o. Note for most stock kernels, msdos support is
normally compiled in static, so it may not be needed.
