Technically it could reverse its orbit but it would take more powerful thruster units and a vast amount of fuel, there are also various problems of orbital mechanics to be overcome.
For all practical purposes then, no it cannot.

What planets rotate?
All planets in the solar system rotate, but not all in the same direction, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune all rotate in one direction, while Venus, Uranus, and the dwarf planet Pluto rotate in the opposite direction.

As far as we know it is not possible for a planet not to rotate, they all rotate because they have some form of gravity within them that gets them turning, perhaps you are thinking of Venus which turns in the opposite direction to all the other planets in our Solar System.
Do all tornadoes rotate the same way?
No. Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Furthermore, a very small percentage (less than 1%) of tornadoes are anticyclonic, rotating in the opposite direction from what is normal in their hemisphere.
Which direction is the ISS traveling with respect to earth?

What two planets rotate differently?

Which direction does the moon rotate if it orbits anticlockwise?
That means that if you observe from the north, it would rotate counterclockwise - the direction opposite of the rotation of a clock's hands.
Does Venus rotate in a direction opposite to all other planets?
yes it does
Why does planet venus rotate in opposite direction?

Which way do twin screw props on a boat rotate when propelling the boat forward?
In opposite direction, but they are designed to propel the boat forward even if they rotate in opposite directions.
What planets rotate?

Why does venus rotate in the opposite direction?
No one knows why, God just made it that way
How does Venus rotate on its axis?
It has a retrograde spin, spinning in the opposite direction to most other planets.
What is so special about Venus Rotation and Revolution?
It rotates in the opposite direction the other planets rotate.
What will happen if the earth starts to rotate and revolve in the opposite direction?
The season progression would reverse.
What is mean by biquartz?
it is a device which consist of two pieces of quartz of equal thickness which rotate the polarization of light in opposite direction
When do two gears rotate in the same direction or in the opposite direction?
when its just two gears its rotating in the opposing direction unless both gears in question are being powered by a 3rd center gear
Can a tornado's rotation be reversed?
An individual tornado cannot change the direction that it rotates, however in rare cases a tornado may rotate in the opposite direction from what is norm (nearly all tornadoes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern).
