In the winter time your ceiling fan should push the room air in an upwards motion and in the summer time the ceiling fan should push the room air in a downwards motion.
You can you hang an indoor ceiling fan outside under a covered porch. As long as the outside conditions remain close to what the conditions inside the home are. This means as long as it is protected from the weather e.g. rain, direct sunlight, no high humidity.
If you mean to take the ceiling fan down from the ceiling it will depend on how high the fan is. The higher the fan, the more expense due to scaffolding or long ladders. If it can be done off of a step ladder, the actual time, it can be done in a half an hour. There might be a charge out call to get to your location. Some contractors charge portal to portal.

There IS a switch on the exterior, but it is hard to find. It should be near to the top of the fan (not the pole it is hanging off of). It is this way on mine but yours could be of different design so you may want to check the inside of the fan if you can not find it (it sounds ridiculous but where else could it be?)

Emerson makes a good quality ceiling fan that will last you a long time. It is the oldest fan company in the United States, and they have a great selection of styles as well.
There should be a small slide switch on the fan. Turn it off and let it stop then move the slide switch then restart it and it should go in the other direction. If you are smart enough to ask a question on answers.com you should be smart enough to change the direction of a ceiling fan!
