No. See here please and read very carefully the comparison between free hoste WordPress.COM blogs and self hosted WordPress.ORG installs http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs . Hence we have are not able to create your own theme or upload third party themes.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.
There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this. To upload themes you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Regardless of the theme one chooses, a WordPress.com blog can be structured either as a post based blog or as a page based website.
Strictly speaking a blog is a website but let’s differentiate.
5 Blog and Website Differences
(1) The main difference between a blog and website is the communication style. A website has a noticeboard communication style. A blog is a website designed for interactive communication. Collectively blogs create the blogosphere, while websites are like standalone islands.(2) Blogs encourage conversation, websites do not and that’s why businesses with websites are adding blogs, and sometimes forums and wikis to them for complaint handling, customer feedback purposes and for collaborative purposes.
(3) Blogs feature dynamic content and position it front and center. The entries have date and time stamps, and blog entries are customarily displayed on the front page in reverse chronological order. Most most websites do not have dynamic content on their front pages. Many websites have static front pages. The information most websites provide is static, rarely updated, and the sites are often poorly maintained.
(4) Blogs have RSS feeds, websites ALONE do not.
(5) Usually but not always, blogs rank higher in Google and as “freshness” is extremely important when it comes to content appearing in the SERPs (search engine page results).

On one hand, none of the characteristic “blog” features like categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.
