I'm not very familiar with InfoPath forms, but if they are valid XML documents, then yes you should be able to update them with FME. You have 2 basic approaches you can take. You can either update the existing XML doc using the XMLUpdater transformer, or you can use load the InfoPath form as a template into XMLTemplater and then merge FME feature values into that.
