You cannot point at a class, you can only point at an instance of a class, which is simply another term for an object. The class is essentially the object's type; it define's the object's behaviour, but is not the object in and of itself. The class also defines a pointer's type, so we can point at instances of a class and access the the object it represents through indirection.

Why can't the accessor member function change any of the values in a class in C plus plus?

Nothing stops a member function from changing any of the values in a class. By convention, an accessor function is used to give read only access to class data, but that does not mean that it is prohibited from doing so. It is a member function, after all, and it has all the rights of any member function of the class.

Which C plus plus keyword allows a function outside of a class to access private class members?

The keyword is friend. The external function must be declared a friend of the class (from within the class itself) in order to become a member of the class and thus gain access to the private (and protected) members of the class.
