Well, I assume you mean floppy image file, for there's no such thing as ISO image of floppy.
You can use any disk dump utility to create one. rawread, rawwritewin, WinImage, etc.
You can find rawwritewin at: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm
I don't have URL for other tools, sorry.
Alternatively, you can diskcopy from inside a VM. Copy the contents of actural floppy disk to a blank floppy image file and you'll have an image of the original floppy disk.

I prefer to use WinImage; visit http://www.winimage.com for more information. WinImage's uncompressed .IMA files can simply be renamed to .FLP and VMware will use them w/o any problems. You can keep the .IMA file type, but then you have to tell VMware to explicitly look for *.IMA files when searching for a floppy image to mount.
Now, if you want to make a .ISO image file from an existing CDROM then the DiscDump [DDUMP] utility is one that I highly recommend. You can find a link to it on the Daemon-Tools downloads page. Visit http://www.daemon-tools.com and look under the downloads or links page to find a link to the current DiscDump.
If you want to make a .ISO image file from a collection of files on your hard drive then you are going to need a CDROM burning software package. Some of the packages produce simple .ISO files [e.g. Adaptec Easy CD Creator] while others create their own proprietary image files [e.g. Nero]. The CDMage utility (http://cdmage.cjb.net) can be used to convert these files to .ISO format in most cases. In any case, you assemble your compilation of files and instead of burning a CDROM you choose to create an image on disk. You could use this image to burn the CDROM at a later time, or you can just choose to mount the .ISO file in VMware [in a guest system] or on directly on the host with a tool like Daemon-Tools.
