Try removing the centre column, then clamp it securely in a vice (or vise, if you prefer), packed with wooden battens to prevent damage.
Ensure that all the locks on the head are secured tightly. Then rotate the head counter-clockwise, and it should unscrew from the thread at thye top of the centre column.
If it still won't shift, try spraying a little WD40 or other such lubricant at the place where the head attaches to the centre column, leave it to soak in, then try again.
If you still have no luck, hie thee to thy local repair facility and humbly beg assistance from the artificer.

How do I switch the Manfrotto RC322C2 from right to left hand use?
I've looked at the spec, and it does not appear to be changeable, unfortunately. Unless you are absolutely wedded to the idea of using that particular head, there are others in the range that can be used with either hand. Check out the selection here :

How adjust the vertical viewing
are you just mounting a camera to the tripod itself? - you need to purchase a head as well - the head screws onto the top of the tripod, and then the camera fixes to the head, usually with a qr plate.

Convertible center column
Depending upon which model you have it could be as simple as turning the center column upside down. Without more info about the tripod this is the best I've got.

How should a Manfrotto fluid head be stored? Up or down
It shouldn't make a difference either way. The "Fluid" is so viscous and sticky that gravity is not going to be a factor. The "fluid" is trapped between interlocking disks, so it doesn't go anywhere. Avoid extremely high tempertures. That will cause the "fluid" to run. Just make sure you keep grit and dirt out of the working parts and your Manfrotto head should work for years.
