You have to change your if statement as follows:

if len(Folder_Name) > 1:
    myCanvas.itemconfig(LocError,text=Folder_Name, fill='green')
else:
    myCanvas.itemconfig(LocError,text='Please Choose Folder!!',fill='red')

itemconfig takes an id or tag of the canvas item and edits the properties of it. Also there is no fg option for text of canvas, so change that to fill.
