  I would like to know if it is possible to customize the tables on the right hand side of my page (Archives, Blogroll, Categories, Meta).

  Ideally I want to change the name of Blogroll, maybe get rid of Meta (if possible).

  Thanks.

  Please read my response to you here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=15582
  At wordpress.com we cannot access and edit our underlying templates. We cannot alter the coding for the widgets that you indicate above. Every theme has a default widget display and we can alter the widgets we display here -> Presentation -> Widgets
  In that location we can drag widgets out of the sidebar widgets box that we do not wish to use and drop them into the Available widgets box. (Example: Meta widget).

  Getting rid of the Meta widget is not something I recommend. When all else fails I have used the Meta widget to log-in to my blogs.

  Basically you need to understand how blogrolls, links and categories work because their usage is inter-related understanding blogrolls, links and categories

  Also based on the alterations you are looking to make that cannot be made here my advice from the other thread stands IMO you will be best served by hiring a web host and downloading free software from http://wordpress/org and then hacking it to suit.
