That depends on whether or not the deacon is a permanent deacon. Permanent deacons are individuals who are ordained to assist the priest at mass and in ministry, but is limited in ability to confer the sacraments. Permanent deacons may be married prior to becoming a deacon, but may not marry after becoming a permanent deacon (without special dispensation, that is). A married individual has to be 35 years of age before becoming a deacon, by which time many already have children. There are no restrictions on having children after ordination. Seminarians who are in the last year or so of their training are ordained as deacons, but are required to remain celibate, and can therefore not become literal fathers.
If the question was instead referring to the practice of referring to ordained men as "father" then the answer for this is "no." Deacons are referred to most often and properly as "deacon."
