Have you gone through the data sheet of the module? The module can be interfaced through UART or SPI, though it should be 3.3V powered, the I/O is 5V tolerance. PIC16F877A has both UART and SPI peripheral, it should be fine for it to interface with the Micro SD card module.

Anyway I would say the difficult part would be to develop the program to "talk" to this SD card module.

the "talk" means the FAT system?

It means the protocol to interface. You must understand the protocol of that module so that you can write the program in PIC to communicate with it. The protocol is inside the datasheet of that module.
