(with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect "/some/file"))
  (save-buffer))

But what you really want to do is probably:

(let ((buf (find-buffer-visiting "/some-file")))
  (when buf
    (with-current-buffer buf
      (save-buffer))))

Because you probably don't want to find the file if it isn't already
open.
