Probably you need to play with parameters quoting and escapechar.

For example, modified code

csvReader = csv.reader(iInputFile)
writer = csv.writer(open('one_1.csv', 'wb'), delimiter=',', lineterminator='\r\n', quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE, escapechar='\\')

for row in csvReader:
     rawRow = []
     rawRow.append('31-7-2014') #Appending Date
     rawRow.append(row[0])   #Appending data
     rawRow.append('\"'+'test'+'\"') 
     writer.writerow(rawRow)

will produce output like that:

31-7-2014,'col1',\"test\"
