Answer 1

Strings are immutable in python

fstor = open("file.txt")
story = fstor.read()
#story.lower() #strings are immutable in python
data = story.lower() #return a new string with lowercase
print(data)

Output:

Write the data to another file

with open("file.txt") as fstor:
    story = fstor.read()
    data = story.lower() #return a new string with lowercase

    with open('another_file.txt','w') as afile:
        afile.write(data)

Answer 2

with open('directory_path.txt', 'r') as f: 
    text = f.read() 
 
text = text.lower()
print(text)

works this code :)
