  If you are the Administrator of your site, you can change to any of the themes appearing under Dashboard>Appearance>Theme.

  On WordPress.com we cannot upload or install any other theme due to themes being highly modified to suit our multi-user, shared environment.

  Also, being so new on WordPress.com you will want to check out both the special tutorial created for new users at http://learn.wordpress.com as well as possibly http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ to understand better the differences between the two flavors of WordPress.
