How about
Code:
path=/path/to
while IFS="," read FN PTH; do echo cp $path/$FN $PTH/$FN; done <con.txt
cp /path/to/apple /dir/ap/apple
cp /path/to/mango /dir/man/mango
cp /path/to/fish /dir/fis/fish

Remove echo when happy with proposals.

And, try to be consistent with trailing slashes when defining paths.
