If you are a player wanting to write your own widgets - the widgets should go into "spring data dir"/luaui/widgets. Create it if it doesn't exist.
If you are a game dev wanting to make/edit a whole game - put the games files into a folder called MyGameName.sdd, and put that folder into your "spring data dir"/games.

Can the spring VFS write function manipulate game archive files?

No. (VFS functions are for reading, not for writing.)

The easiest way would be to switch off the widget of the game archive (by default with the F11 menu, but some games implement a custom widget list menu), and then work on a copy, with a slightly different name, unpacked in \LuaUI\Widgets\
