Possibly newer ones, but not yours. If you spin the cable backward, it will be the same as driving in reverse. Nothing would happen.

Probably because it is not too practical. If you used a drill motor to spin the cable at 3600 RPM, the odometer would turn 60 miles per hour. I use a 3" cable, to calibrate speedometers, at that speed.

I know it's illegal to turn it back.
One legal way, would be to purchase a new odometer unit from your GM dealer. Just be careful to reposition all the numbers, so they show the actual mileage, before you lock them into position.
The above procedures would also apply, when replacing the one you already have, if you happened to remove it for any reason.
