If you want to do this job syncronously, just read and then write the file directly:

var copyFileSync = function(srcFile, destFile, encoding) {
  var content = fs.readFileSync(srcFile, encoding);
  fs.writeFileSync(destFile, content, encoding);
}

Of course, error handling and stuff is always a good idea!
