I'm guessing you don't mean "reverse" its stem, which using Finale jargon would appear as I've shown below, but rather "flip" the stem. Select the measure in layer 2 and use Utilities/Stem direction. (There's no need for layer 2 since there's nothing in layer 1. This seems to be confusing Simple entry, since the stem-direction command doesn't seem to work. Move them to layer one and things will work as expected.)

Thank you very much, motet,

Take a look at the attached Finale document.
I had no trouble flipping the C note’s stem down.
With the Layer 2 C note selected in Simple Entry I used the command
Simple menu > Simple Edit Commands > Modify Entry > Flip Stem
(keyboard shortcut: hit the letter L key)
