If the rails can't do what you want you will have to find a separate object that does or make your own from profiles, columns, etc.

I thought you just wanted to show the direction going down rather than up.
No this won't alter the stairs in any way.

All you need to do is rotate and mirror the stairs just like any other object.

Use "Flip" in the stair selection settings (see picture).

Or if you mean you want the stair to actually go down from the active floor level amend the base level or insert the stair on the next level down.
