sharepoint layout insert

I'm trying to insert some data in the location mysiteurl/_layouts/

'cause I had to use a third part software which uses data stored in that folder... I'm admin of the machine (Sharepoint 2010 on Windows server 2008R2) but the Sharepoint said I cannot access directly to that folder...

Is there any trick to insert data in that specific folder?

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\

Sharepoint 2010 layouts folder path is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\

If you're using SP 2013 the folder path is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\

If you're using SP 2016 the folder path is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\
