How did the entries get input into GnuCash?
Why do you believe they are incorrect (reversed)?

In short, no, there is no way to do it, and hand-modifying the database
could corrupt it.  But depending how the transactions were entered, there
may be an easy way to "start over" and do it correctly --- assuming that
they ARE incorrect.

GnuCash has a preference to "reverse" the sign on some normally-negative
accounts, so it's also possible that setting is incorrect, but your data
is correct.

This is why I'm asking the questions above.

Hope this helps,
