You are not meant to create files in this directory yourself; only read and write values to them. If a file does not exist then the version of speakup is too old to have the direct function. files that exist in /sys/speakup allow you to change speakup's behaviour if you write values into certain files. If the file does not exist then the feature is not present in the kernel you currently run.

So I checked the mount options in /etc/fstab; here's what I found: sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 Are these options set correctly? I can replace existing files, but not create new ones. I guess it must have to do with that "noexec" option.
