On line 38, you call SetAsync() I am guessing to retrieve data. You need to change that to GetAsync

Therefore to fix this, simply do:

01local service = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local datastore = service:GetDataStore("Stats")
03local function save(player)
04 
05    local success,errormessage = pcall(function()
06 
07            local SaveData = {}
08 
09            for i,stats in pairs(player["Data Folder"]:GetChildren()) do
10 
11                SaveData[stats.Name] = stats.Value
12            end
13        datastore:SetAsync(player.UserId,SaveData)
14        end)
15 
16        if not success then
17        return datastore
18        end        
19end
20game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
21    print'Joined'
22    local datafolder = Instance.new("Folder",player)
23    datafolder.Name = "Data Folder"
24 
25    local hakifolder = Instance.new("Folder",workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name))
26    hakifolder.Name = "Buso"
27 
28    local fruitvalue = Instance.new("StringValue",datafolder)
29    fruitvalue.Name = "Fruit"
30    wait(.1)
31    if not player:WaitForChild'Data Folder' then return end
32    if player:WaitForChild'Data Folder'.Fruit.Value == "" then
33        player["Data Folder"].Fruit.Value = "None" -- changes the value of it
34    end
35    print'loaded data folder'
36    local data
37    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
38        data = datastore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
39    end)
40 
41    if success then
42        for i,stats in pairs(datafolder:GetChildren()) do
43 
44            stats.Value = data[stats.Name]     
45        end
46        print("Success")
47    else
48        print("failed")
49        warn(errormessage)
50    end
51end)
