It depends on the context. If it is a nautical context, it means to shift your sails and rudder in a fashion that brings your boat around to a new heading with the bow or stern passing through the wind in the process. This can be done by tacking or gybing in a sailing vessel.

If it is not referring to a boat, "come about" means "to occur" or "to happen."
