Can I write a script on my website that open and read or edit files on my computer like fopen() or something with another web language?

Question

I'm wondering if there is a way to open and edit or read the data inside a file on my computer from my website ? Is there is a programming language that can achieve that ?

I'm talking about a real website, not a local .php file for example.

No you can't do that using PHP, but you can do it with javascript. Have a look at this example.
