You want to do that from command line?
Create folder DATA with mkdir DATA. (You should have permissions to create it)
If you want to create an empty file, just say touch DATA/myfile.txt
Or you can use the vi editor to write to the file (vi will open the file if it exists else will create that file for you), just type vi DATA/myfile.txt
You may need to learn some vi keys before you try that. On Linux, try vimtutor!
And just in case you think it is boring to type DATA/something... do CD DATA after creating the directory (folder) . Enjoy :)

How do you create directory or folder in Linux?
There's actually no such thing as a "hidden" file or folder in Linux. In Windows, files and folders are hidden by setting a file attribute on them, and is used to prevent novice users from viewing or modifying them. In Linux, a file or folder can be "hidden" from most shells and file managers by simply prefixing a "." in front of the name (.settings, for instance). A simple 'View > Show hidden files' or "ls -a" is all it takes to list them. The purpose is thus purely for cosmetic / organizational purposes.
