Can I inverse rotation to AC single phase motor? How?

Answer:

Motor that can be reversed have wired connections that have to be changed to do so. You could bring the wires out to a relay or switch. There is no way to do it by playing games with the power phasing, etc.
It all depends on if it is a conter and clockwise motor. On some there are 2 sets of 2 wires pluged in to one another. Swap one wire with another and that will reverse your direction.

Rotation of single phase motors can be reversed by changing the connection of the starting winding. The starting winding connecting to Common, S1, shall be disconnected and interchanged with its other end S2. The starting winding can be identified, it is one which is connected to a starting capacitor and centrifugal switch.
