  If you are hosted here at wordpress.com, you cannot. You are limited to the themes listed under design > themes.

  You can stylize the themes here using the paid CSS upgrade, if you have CSS editing experience. There is no official support for editing CSS.

  The CSS upgrade allows you to customize, or stylize the theme, but it does not allow you to change the way the theme works. That is beyond CSS.

  a) By bugging support to install it. Only themes released under the Gnu Public License (GPL) will even be considered.

  b) By applying a complete a CSS makeover to another theme, e.g. Sandbox, which requires some CSS skills and a 15$ upgrade.
