Well, not all you ask for is possible. You can select the object and make it 2-sided. Its down in the corner under"set surface type" Just click 2s. You can not have one color on the outside and another on the inside. This because the surfaces in theory are the same. When exporting the model you loose the 2 sided surfaces, and althoug some renderers show the backside, others just show nothing where there should have been a surface. So always make sure the normal points the right way when modeling. The 2 sided surfaces are just for ease of modeling.
