  No. See http://support.wordpress.com/custom-css/

  Does the CSS upgrade let me upload my own theme?
  Not exactly. You can use the CSS upgrade with a “Skin” for the Sandbox theme, since these are normally CSS stylesheets.

  You can’t upload themes made of PHP or HTML files (which means most WordPress themes). This is for security and compatibility reasons. The only exceptions are for VIP bloggers.

  Neither changing the css is allowed .. I just discovered that .. only if you purchase a plugin to save css changes ..

  the only thing you can do is to change the header .. it’s all I was able to do constructing my new blog at http://tipsguru.wordpress.com
