Can electricity be positive instead of negative? What differences would it be? Can electricity be used to repel things?
 
Q1. Yes.
Q2. The particle involved.
Q3. Yes.

Think about it and I (or someone else) will elaborate if needed.
 
For question 1, positive or negative as a term for electricity is a historical accident. Either term could have been used to denote the charge of electrons. It was called negative before people understood the physics behind electric current.
