I have a friend with inverted nipples and she would like to know if there is a surgery to fix them.

No, not that I know of. Surgery involving the nipples would be risky anyway, IMO, because anytime you mess with the tissue you are cutting nerves and risk damaging milk ducts, and all sorts of fun stuff.

There are things that can be done! Don't know if your friend has checked out KellyMom...

Surgery is generally not recommended for inverted nipples. Here's some more info on alternative treatments:
