Is it possible to read/write from/to a specific USB port, avoiding all that USB

Is it possible to read/write from/to a specific USB port, avoiding all that USB handshaking stuff?

What I want to do is communicate with a microcontroller, for example, that doesn’t have a USB driver on board via USB. I want my C++ application to be able to send data via a specific USB port and then to receive data from that same USB port.

Basically what I want to be able to do is treat that USB port like a serial port. Is this possible? Is there a workaround I can use?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I know this isn’t the best way to go about communication with a uC, but let’s assume, for some reason, I have to do it this way.

Edit: BTW I’m using Windows 7

    Use one of the USB to serial port adapters. The USB port will look just like a serial port to your C++ program.
