Alberto,
I think part of the confusion is the musical context for what you are trying
to do. Is this something of your creation or are you transcribing an
existing score that we could look at to get a better understanding?
Based on this discussion, it seems like you have two options:
1. Apply the "\voiceThree" to the "e2." which shifts the notehead to the
right, but puts the stem up,
\score {
\new Staff \relative c'' <<
{
\time 3/4
a4 b c
}\\<<
{ e,4 g a ~ | <fis a>2. }
\new Voice { \voiceThree e2. | s2. }
>>
>>
\layout{}
}

or
2. Make the "e2." the only "\voiceTwo" notehead at that point in question
and put a spacer where the second voice's "e" would be.
\score {
\new Staff \relative c'' <<
{
\time 3/4
a4 b c
}\\<<
{ s4 g a ~ | <fis a>2. }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo e2. | s2. }
>>
>>
\layout{}
}

Personally, i like the second option better. Either way, proper usage of the
\voiceX commands and "\\" syntax should provide the right solution.
Hope that helps,
Abraham
P.S. Changing the stem direction changes the note's NoteColumn for collision
identification, it doesn't _necessarily_ change the voice.
