Hi Vannah,
You can topspin it. You have to allow for the ball not having as much topspin as you may be used to. So your stroke will need to be more vertical to lift the ball over the net.
We have a lesson in our Match Strategy lesson on Playing Against Short Pimples which will also help.

Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
