Is there a way to display the characters on the display upside down from the default? As in, the display is upside down in my current configuration. I haven't been able to figure it out myself yet. :-)
If I understand you correctly, your LCD display would be oriented upside down. If that is the case, it is not possible to modify the code to have the characters displayed upside down. You would have to somehow re-orient your setup to have the LCD display right-side up.

This is because the various LCD character bitmaps (for the digits 0 through 9, letters, etc) are hardcoded into the LCD display itself, and the bitmaps only support a right-side-up display. There are only 8 total programmable characters in the LCD display, and they are currently being used by my MPGuino code to display graphs and to do the spiffy trip labels.

Here is a graphic showing a typical LCD display character bitmap.
