Reverse the text in memory then write it to disk. Reverse the reverse...

StringUtils.reverse(str)

You don't need to. Its upto the displaying program to show it in the right direction. You can store the data in file as it is, and the guy who reads it and displays it is responsible for that.

The direction desplayed depends on the program you open your file with. All you can do is to use Unicode and if the opening program has problems with Unicode you can do nothing about it. The OS where file opened on should support Unicode as well.
