Which way do you turn the truss rod in a guitar to lower the strings?
NEVER adjust the truss rod in order to lower the strings. The majority of string height adjustment is done at the bridge on either the bridge posts or individual saddles depending on your guitar. The truss rod is only there to correct any humping or bowing in the neck, if you tighten it then the strings will appear to lower but that's only because you're bending your guitars neck back! This will render your guitar pretty much unplayable until it's sorted so if you're not completely confident you know what you're doing then it's best to just leave any truss rod adjustment well alone. If you value your guitar then seek the advice of a qualified or experienced luthier or repair guy.

Can we install a truss rod to a guitar neck which originally doesn't have a truss rod?
In short you can do, but it's a very lengthly process and will cost you a fair bit of cash. Usually the way to do it (assuming your neck is deep enough to accommodate the truss rod) is to remove the fretboard, then route a channel down the centre of the neck under the board, install the rod with the adjustment nut at the headstock end, then reglue the fretboard. Though TRUSS me, it's a lot harder than I made it sound just then! I'd recommend taking it to your local repair place to get a quote and don't try it yourself unless you're a master router. If the problem you're trying to fix with a truss rod is that you're guitar neck is slightly warped, then a slightly easier option would be to get the frets out, plane/sand the fretboard level and then get it re-fretted.
