I've never really made my way in any detail through the Witt-vector construction. I did read all the articles that a quick Google and MSN search turned up, and none seemed to address it, but I could just be unfamiliar with the language; so please pardon me if this is a question with a well known answer.
If it makes a difference whether I'm asking my question about the 'big' Witt vectors or the $p$-typical ones, then please interpret it in the way that makes it more interesting.
With that prelude, the question itself is simple: is there a functor $\text{$A$-Mod} \to \text{$W(A)$-Mod}$, either just for specific algebras $A$ (I have in mind the $p$-typical Witt vectors of a finite field of characteristic $p$), or, possibly, for all commutative algebras? In my motivating case, one can do something awkward like pick a basis for an $A$-module (i.e., a vector space) and simply construct the free $W(A)$-module on that set; but, aside from the ugliness of this approach, it's not even clear to me that it's functorial.
EDIT: As both nfdc23 and QiaochuYuan point out, I have additional assumptions in mind; namely, in both cases, that free, finite-rank $A$-modules are taken to non-$0$, free, finite-rank $W(A)$-modules, for nfdc's post that the identity morphism is taken to the identity morphism, and for Qiaochu's post that not every morphism is sent to $0$.
