How do you reverse the direction of rotation of a ceiling fan by changing the connections?

You can't. All single phase motors can only rotate in the direction in which they were manufactured. That is either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Only three phase motors can be reversed by changing the connections. Most ceiling fans have two sets of wiring in their motors so that a direction switch determines which way the fan rotates.

How do you connect a ceiling fan to a regulator?

First make sure there is no power going to the regulator. You find the wires that are coming from the j box or regulator. You then wire one of each wire to one of each wire to the ceiling fan. You then tape the wires together but separate from each other. Then you continue to finish hanging the fan.

How do you tell if your ceiling fan is going clockwise or counter clockwise?

lay on the floor and look up at it. If it is moving the same direction as a clock it is moving clockwise. Hold a piece of tissue paper at a corner such that it is near (but not touching) the fan blades. If the fan lifts the paper toward the ceiling then it is rotating clockwise. This is best for winter. If the fan pushes the paper toward the floor (causing a breeze) then it is rotating counter clockwise. This is best for summer.
