You mean I can't make it only function as an exit node using TBB? or it is no way to make it function only as an exit node except that I modify the source codes?
Why would you want to? If you're trying to maximise the traffic that you can sslstrip, note that messing with exit traffic is frowned upon and will get you flagged as a BadExit when you're spotted.
If you operate as a relay, not all of the traffic that comes in will be exit traffic. Therefore, an attacker will (a) have to sift through your outbound traffic and discard Tor connections, (b) have no direct correlation between your exit traffic and the relay it came from.
Why is (b) important? Because potentially (depending on factors outside your control) you've just shortened somebody's route from 3 hops to 2. And this is a serious compromise to their anonymity. So please, reconsider before blindly hacking at the source.
