  What you are looking for is the WordPress.org Forums.

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  You can either change the blog visibility settings temporarily or set up a static front page temporarily.
  See option 3 here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
  See static front page here. Create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/
