Generally in a single scull (where there is just one person) the Sculler (the person sculling) will pull harder on one blade thus turning the boat in the opposite direction.
This is achieved by pushing harder with one leg.
In bigger boats, they often have a rudder and a stearing mechinism to turn the boat operated by someone in the boat called the coxswain (who does not row) or often in smaller boats such as fours and pairs by a mechinism on the scullers footplate that turns the rudder.
The coxswain usually has controls to a rudder. Also, to spin the boat, the rower in the bow rows on one side, while the strokeman in the stern rows on the opposite side.

Is there a coxswain in sculling?
A boat's coxswain (pronounced cox'n) is in charge of tactical decisions, steering, and most importantly, the safety of the rowers. Coxswains do not row. Sculling boats (boats of 1, 2, or 4 rowers with 2 oars per rower) generally do not have coxswains. Occasionally a 4-scull will have a cox, but the others do not because they are simple not big enough to be effective with one.
What is sweep rowing?

What is the difference between scull and sweep oars?
Sculling = One oar in each hand and a sliding seat. Usually 1,2, or 4 rowers written as 1x,2x,4x. Steering can be done by varying the amount of pull on each side. Sweep rowing = Two hands on one oar. Each rower takes one side (port/starboard) so there needs to be an even number of rowers. Sliding seat. 2,4, or 8 rowers. Often (and always with 8 rowers) has a coxswain to steer and coordinate. Rudders is used. Usually written as 2+,4+, 8+ (rowers w/coxswain) or 2-,4- (w/o coxswain)
