I dont think head set has anything to do with adjusting the height of the handle bar, you can flip the stem if it is possible, or you can change the stem. Or if there is snough space you can spacers

Murthy, I don't know if you can flip a threaded headset. You can however, often get an adjustable stem for it that allows you to set the rise/angle.

To the OP: if your headset looks like this - http://bit.ly/HEylME - it's a threadless headset. If it's set up as it looks in the pic, it's not possible to raise the height easily. You can lower it for a more aggressive posture by (a) moving the spacers from under the stem to over it, and/or (2) flipping the stem so that it's angled downward. But why do you want to raise the handlebar height? If it's because it feels too low and you'd like a more upright posture, the best way out is to install a stem riser (steerer extender) as I have done on my bike. They are available online for upwards of $25 from brands such as Satori or Delta. They are not available in India, to the best of my knowledge.

Or you can get a 35 degree Hi Rider Stem from RavX
