  I don’t believe that you can edit php on a WordPress.com site. If you purchase the Custom Design upgrade, you can edit the CSS.

  A custom post type would only be possible in a WordPress.org install. You would need to acquire hosting (from bluehost.com or similar webhost) and set up WordPress.org software.

  If by chance you are talking about a self-hosted WordPress install, you’ll need to seek help over at http://wordpress.org/support/ These are the forums for WordPress.com, the hosted version.
