A circle does not have a direction. Please post a picture to explain, how the orientation could be detected.

Is the circle actually part of an image, or do you have the coordinates of the circle? If you have the coordinates, it's just a matter of calculating the sign of the cross product.
cp = cross( [x(2)-x(1), y(2)-y(1), 0], [x(3)-x(1), y(3)-y(1), 0])
direction = sign(cp); %+1 if counterclockwise, -1 if clockwise

It's not clear to me then how you define clockwise or counterclockwise in your image. Given only an image, how can you tell which direction in which?

It sounds like you mean you want to find the curvature itself (using a technique like shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature. This has nothing to do with the clockwise/counterclockwise direction.
As myself and Jan Simon have requested, can you post an example of your fingerprint image? We can't make code recommendations without knowing what kind of image your are working with.

Just search in this forum. It is explained e.g. in the "Markup help" link on this page, and at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/243-how-do-i-post-a-picture-with-my-question .
