  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes on blogs hosted by WordPress.COM like yours.

  If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.
