Will a bike that came with 27" wheels be able to fit 700c wheels? Something about the size of the brake calipers? I'm looking to replace several components anyway, so this is a tech issue for me.

Maybe, but not always.

Dave is right, depends on the bike and the reach of the brake calipers. You will just have to try it to find out.
