With Linux:
dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1
dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

Replace /dev/hda with the device of which you'd like to backup/write the MBR. 
And don't do something like /dev/hda1, that would be wrong !

With Windows:
No idea if it's possible to do something like this at all :-)
