  There is no upgrade that you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to upload third party themes. To do that you must hire a web host and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are those found here > Appearance > Themes and there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. For a comparison of WordPress.com free hosted blogs and WordPress.org installs for self hosting see here > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
