  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.
  Depending on the theme we use when we close comments a phrase like “comments closed” or a similar phrase may appear and if so, it can only be removed by CSS editing after purchasing a custom design upgrade.

  We cannot edit templates or themes on free hosted WordPress.com blog. All blogs here wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template. Only Staff can access those files and edit. Every edit they make affects all blogs wearing the same them. CSS editing cannot be used to change functionality; it can only be used to change appearance.

  Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
  No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions
