I'm using Kega Fusion, a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis emulator, which has specific hard-coded keyboard presses for a certain functions (e.g. Backspace = Fast Forward, F5/F8 = save/load state, etc.).
Is there any way to map these keyboard presses to a gamepad?
Depending on what graphics plugin you're using, you might be able to disable the framerate limit (which will speed up the game, normally). It varies based on plugin and version, but some hotkeys to try are F4 (toggles limit in ePSXe >= 1.7.0), 9 (unknown versions), and the later F-keys (F9 to F12), which adjust the frameskipping/limiting settings.
Check your video plugin's options screen to see what options it gives you.
You cannot do this I think.
I recommand you to use JoyToKey. It's a third party software to map keyboard keys on your pad buttons.
I use it to play to Binding Of Isaac with my Xbox360 gamepad and it works fine.
You can find the software here.

Based on a hint in the comments, the JoyToKey program was used to remap my controller to the desired keyboard inputs.
As an added bonus, the remap also only occurs when a specified program is running (in my case, the Kega Fusion emulator), as shown below.
