You can do this in Windows Movie Maker.  Just drag/import the clip into 
a new Project Window, then drag it into the timeline.  Select "Video 
Effects" from the Drop-down Menu (or by right-clicking on the clip). 
One of the Effects is "Rotate 180".  This'll do the rotation.  Then 
you've got to save it out again.

Note, you'll exerience some lost in quality since you're churning the 
clip through the compression process a second time but the results may 
be acceptable.
