Aug 4, 2014 at 15:17 comment added Jeremy Rickard abx's answer is correct. For an explicit example, let $A=\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ be the ring of polynomials in two variables and let $M$ be the ideal consisting of polynomials with zero constant term. Then $M$ does not have a quotient module isomorphic to $A$.
Aug 4, 2014 at 15:12 comment added Jeremy Rickard @Student That's not a counterexample to what abx claimed, because your $M$ is not an ideal of $A$.
Aug 4, 2014 at 14:52 comment added Guy L. Well here is a counter example to your argument that M is principal. Take M=A^2. And a surjective morphism defined by (1,0)->1. (0,1)->0. Then M is not principal although there is a surjective morphism.

Aug 4, 2014 at 14:33 comment added abx OK, enough for me. Please learn some algebra before asking questions here.
Aug 4, 2014 at 14:30 comment added abx No, your quotient $M/N$ is not isomorphic to $A$. Again, think more about asking correctly your question. I down vote.
Aug 4, 2014 at 14:28 comment added abx In your post you say that $M$ has a quotient isomorphic to $A/\mathfrak{p}$. $Am$ is not a quotient... Maybe you should think more about your question.
