You can upload an image and embed it into any post or page but only themes that provide for featured header images can have different images on some posts and pages.

http://support.wordpress.com/images/image-settings/View all themes that support featured images or visit the showcase and click Find a Theme → Features, then check the Featured Images box.

Hi timethief,
Thanks for replying. I have images uploaded and can change the header but when I change it on the ‘Blog’ page, it also changes it on the ‘About’ page. Could it be that I need to subscribe to the premium to have different headers on each of my pages? -
Did you use the link I provided to themes that do have that feature?
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/featured-images/If your theme Reddle is listed there then feature images header is in the theme. https://wordpress.com/themes/reddle/
If not then switch to using one of those themes that are listed there.

Yikes! I provided the wrong link. I’m so sorry. The correct one is below.
Featured Header Images
Note: This feature only works with themes that allow custom header images and have featured header images enabled. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/featured-image-header/ -
Damn. I was sure Reddel was one of them. It isn’t. Thank you. Now I’ll have to try a new theme and hopefully everything looks ok.

Switching themes is easy to do and free of charge too. :)
Here are the free themes with the featured header images feature https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/featured-image-header/?sort=free
Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:
