O is a word that came into English from Latin and Greek poetry, where it is used to mark direct address (the vocative case). That is, when you are speaking to someone, and you say their name to them, you put O ahead of it. "Where are you going, O William?" "O Fates, what is to become of me?"
It's a preposition, I suppose, in the sense that it is positioned before (pre-positioned) a noun. But in terms of use, it's a case marker, not a preposition like "in," "on," or "about." That is, it doesn't use the noun it governs to color the verb as a normal preposition does, but rather marks its noun as being outside the structure of the sentence.
It isn't used much anymore, as you can usually lose it without ambiguity. "Where are you going, William?" "Fates, what is to become of me?" When it is used, it's mostly been replaced by "Oh," which is pronounced the same, but is properly an interjection, and so doesn't take an argument. "Oh my!" or just "Oh!" So strictly speaking, the expression "Oh my god!" ought to be spelled "O my god!" or, depending on your tradition, "O my God!"
