yes. If the fan can be reversed it should be set to blow air up since cold air is heavy it stays low to the ground and by reversing the fan to pull the air upward this should help keep room cooler.

A ceiling fan doesn't cool per se. It just moves around the air in the room and may create various air flow patterns in the room. Since hot air rises and cold air drops the fan may either draw warm air down or cold air up depending on the direction of the blade rotation. The best advice is to experiment with your particular situation and see what works best. There is no answer that covers all situations.
