1) add an option inplace=True/False. There is at least one such method in
Sage: the relabel method for graphs. The behavior is as follows:
inplace is mentioned at

So yes, I think "inplace=True" should be preferred over
"return_copy=False" or similar.
2) Make a private inplace method mat._transpose_inplace()
3) Make a public inplace method mat.transpose_inplace()
Any preference between 1), 2), 3) or a suggestion for something else is
welcome!
I think 1 would be most natural.
