If change put left in right, will there be any change in the effect?

Some earphones are design to fit better into your ear so that's why they put an r and and l to make the best fit. There might be some changes in the effect to. There are some songs that play with this kind of effects.

Left is designed for the Left Ear, The left ear bud only play the audio information linked to the Left side of the Stereo Track. Same situation with the right side. It really doesnt make a difference in which side you have it in.

The difference is all in how the person who made the music decided to produce it. For example one composer/producer may choose to have the crash cymbals 1) panned 60% on the left and 40% the right while another may have 2) them 50% left / 50% right. So in case #1 it matters and in case #2 it does not. In case #2 switching headphones to opposite sides causes the cymbal to be 60% right / 40% left (slightly louder on the right) instead of 60% right / 40% left (slightly louder on the left).
You notice which instruments are physically separated more toward each ear, but the emotional effect between the two ears remains the same...the point of using stereo IE different amounts in different ears is to make the instruments clearer and more easy to distinguish.
In case you want to get technical about it....If you want a graphical example just open a stereo wave (music) file in any major audio editor (Audition, Cool Edit Pro, Sound-Forge, etc.) and switch into FFT graph mode and you'll see different color lines corresponding to how loud each frequency volume (low to high) is in each ear. And switching the headphones to opposite ears just swaps the loudness levels of the frequency lines at each frequency. So if the red line representing the left ear volume is NORMALLY at 0db at 1000hz and the blue line representing the right ear at 1000hz is at -6db the left (right ear hears twice as much loudness at 1000hz) and you SWAP headphones to opposite sides the left ear AFTER THIS SWAP hears twice as much loudness at 1000hz.

Normally it doesn't make a difference, physically. But electronically, there is...STEREO music is L and R.
