When you hit home, it should move towards that axis' endstop switch. If it's moving in the wrong direction, you need to reverse the direction of that motor.
The printer resets the home location at the start of every print (one of the first commands is to home all axes), so if you have your endstops and motors configured correctly it should automatically set 0,0,0 on each print.

Which printer are you using? Left could mean something different for you and me.
I'm fairly new to printing myself, but as I understand it home should always be 0,0,0 as this is part of how the printer calibrates itself to know where everything is.
Why do you want home to be at that position?

That definitely helps, I have the same printer
I don't know if it's possible to do what you want, the home position is set when the endstop switch is hit.
You could try this:
Slicer settings
-> Printer settings
-> In the "start g-code" text box, remove the first line (G28), which homes the axes.
However I'd recommend just leaving it as it is, it was probably designed that way for a reason. At the start of every print there's usually a blob at 0,0,0, you'd probably end up moving this blob to the center of your workpiece where it could ruin your print.
You're realistically only saving about 30 seconds, which is insignificant if you're doing 1hr+ prints.
