Thanks,

This is a multiuser blogging platform. All blogs wearing the same theme are using the same underlying template. Only Staff can edit that template as every edit they make affects all blogs wearing the same theme.
There is no FTP access and we cannot upload themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at WordPress.COM.
See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:
