  I am clueless that I should have bought a hosting 1st (to have a free hand on my site) instead of domain mapping alone. Now I have problems changing/uploading themes for my domain. Please enlighten me what to do.

  When you domain map here at wordpress.com, your blog is still hosted at wordpress.com and as such, all of the same restrictions and such apply. On themes, you are still limited to what is shown under presentation themes. You cannot upload and use themes or plugins.

  Sorry, that is not what you wanted to hear.

  To be able to upload themes and such, you would have to get your own web host and install the software from wordpress.org, undo the domain mapping and then point your domain to your web host.
