Technically, you can't, ONLY a Mantis and an Owl (I Think) can turn their heads 360 degrees, So basically, No.

Why are you not able to rotate your leg at the knee or your hands at the elbow?

Because your knee and elbow have a hing joint so it moves like a door, but if it was a ball in socket joint like in your shoulder you would be able to rotate it like a 360

What is the function of the shoulder?

The shoulder joint, being one of the most mobile joints in the body, show quite a lot of versatility in it's movements. It shows flexion(150°-170°), extension (40°), abduction (160°-180°), adduction (30°-40°), lateral rotation (in abduction: 95°; in adduction: 70°) and medial rotation (in abduction: 40°-50°; in adduction: 70°). Flexion is when your muscles bulge, like when you show off your biceps. Extension is the opposite of flexion, when you unbend your elbow. Abduction is when you raise your arm away from your body and adduction is when you lower your arm. Lateral rotation is when you rotate your arm outwards and medial is when you rotate your arm inwards.
