How to rotate contours generated using contourf command in MATLAB R2014b?
rotating using get(gca, 'Children') doesn't seem to work.

Sean's right. The rotate command only works on a few types of objects, and you probably want to try hgtransform instead.
That would look something like this:
g = hgtransform
contourf(peaks,'Parent',g)
set(g,'Matrix',makehgtform('zrotate',pi/3))

The contourf plot roation works, thanks! However, after the rotation, the clabel text do not follow the contour lines's directions. Any cure?

What do you mean by rotate?

Still works.
In R2014b, contour is no longer a collection of patches but rather a contour plot object. If you look at it's properties, you might find what you want:
[c,h] = contourf(Z,10);
>> h
h =

I'm not clear on what you mean by rotating. Whether it's interactive or programmatic, the whole figure will rotate. If you mean rotate the individual color patches relative to the rest of the figure, then you might want to look into using hgtransform.
