  You cannot get database access for WordPress.com blogs, but you can export the data in an xml file using Tools → Export page in your blog dashboard.

  See this help page for more information about switching to a self-hosted setup: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
