Can exterior french door installed to open in be changed to open out?

Maybe. The primary issues are likely water and security. Exterior doors that face outward need to have properly detailed heads and sills to prevent water migrating inwards. If the door wasn't specified this way when it was manufactured, it is likely that you will have an issue here, unless it opens to a fully covered porch or other space where precipitation is not an issue. Also, when the doors face outward, the hinges do, too - which means the pins can be easily removed from the outside and the door thus removed, without a key. Special hinges are made for this and can usually be retrofitted easily enough. Lastly, the glazing needs to be considered - check that the seal is weatherproof - it may be detailed differently on the interior and exterior sides of the door. This may be especially true if the door has muntins.

Functions of doors?

Doors open and doors close. Sometimes they open to the interior of a building but often fire codes require exterior doors to open swinging outward to the outside. Door can also roll up and roll down but these are most often found at businesses where goods from trucks are moved in and out of the building. Most all home doors use three or more hinges to keep one side of the door secured to the door frame allowing the open side of the door to move from the door frame. Frequently the free moving side of the door contains a latch to keep the door closed at the door frame. This latch can be moved by turning a doorknob. Some latches are equipped with a locking mechanism. Whenever you turn the doorknob, most often, you will find that the hinged side of the door squeaks a bit to announce your exit or entry.
