You just place the arrow in the other end in the options:Latex-

To have arrow's head on opposition side of the spiral curve, you only need to change -Latex
to Latex-
. However result is quite unexpected (read unusable) ...
It might be more acceptable solution to move the arrow head close to the end of the spiral. For this you can exploit the package decorations.markings
:
documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]standalone
usetikzlibraryarrows.meta, bending, decorations.markings
begindocument
begintikzpicture[
decoration = markings,mark=at position .84 with
arrowreversed[black]Latex[length=1.5mm]
]
draw[postaction=decorate]
plot[domain=0:25,variable=t,smooth,samples=101,
Latex[length=1mm]-]
(t r: 0.002*t*t);
endtikzpicture
enddocument

First of all, I would like to argue that bent arrows look better, also in the original plot. But since the curve becomes singular at 0, this does not immediately work because of dimension too large
errors. However, it does once we approximate the inner-most stretch by an arc.
documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibraryarrows.meta,bending
begindocument
begintikzpicture[scale=2]
pgfmathsetmacromytpi
draw[Latex[bend,length=2pt]-]
(0: 0.002*myt*myt)
arc(0:180:0.002*myt*myt);
draw plot[domain=pi:25.1327,variable=t,samples=75,smooth]
(t r: 0.002*t*t);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
And here is the original pic with a bent arrow.

endtikzpicture

Note that one should always load bending
when one attaches arrows to curved paths, regardless of whether or not one bends the arrows, since otherwise the paths get distorted. Bending cures the distortion even when not explicitly used.
