Depends entirely on what the design of the motor is and what combination of terminals are accessible.
In either a series or parallel wound, or even compound wound motor, you can change the direction of rotation by reversing the relative polarity of one or more (but not all) sets of windings. Exactly what to do depends on the motor details.
Whether the motor is designed to be operated in either direction of rotation is a mechanical design issue, but it is probably OK. Verify with manufacturer.
