  There is no FTP access to any wordpress.COM hosted sites and no blogger plugin or theme installation capability.

  No FTP access http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  No blogger installed plugins http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
  No Uploading Custom Themes or Third Party Themes
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  You are confusing wordpress.COM hosted sites like yours and wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multi user software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes

  We cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  P.S. Also be keenly aware that you cannot transfer any theme from https://wordpress.com/themes/ which is licensed and adapted to run on WordPress.COM software to a WordPress.ORG site, and visa versa. The two run on different software and have different versions of themes with the same names. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  See Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress https://move.wordpress.com

  The wordpress.ORG support forum link is http://wordpress.org/support/ The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
