It is not very clear what you are asking above. What emulator are you 
using? Is the disk.bas an ascii file or tokenized? Is it on a disk image 
or a stand-alone file on a PC?

You can't convert programs into disks. You can place programs on disks 
or disk images.

Where are these files? Are they on a PC? Are they on Coco disks, disk 
images, or on the Internet somewhere?

===========
I'm going to assume that you program is on a PC. A universal way to get 
the program to run on an emulator is to create a disk image of the .dsk 
type, copy the .bas program to the .dsk image, mount the .dsk image on 
an emulator, and then RUN"disk.bas" .

Creation of a .dsk image depends on what support programs you have. What 
support programs you have will depend on what emulator you are using.

It would help if you posted whether you have a real Coco system and what 
  operating system you are running on the PC.
