We cannot add/upload themes at wordpress.COM. We are limited to the 180+ (and growing) themes found in the dashboard under appearance > themes. Themes found on the internet are for self-hosted wordpress blogs using the software from wordpress.ORG.
Themes at wordpress.COM have to be modified to work within the restrictions here and to support the unique features.
The differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org (self-hosted) sites.

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs like the one linked to your username and we cannot install individual plugins or third party themes into them. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/On free hosted wordpress.COM blogs we can only use the themes which have been coded to run on this multi-user software and made available to us here. > Appearance > Themes and no others. We cannot edit either themes or templates on free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
If you wish to have complete control over a blog, FTP access, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you are referring to a Wordpree.org install then you are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here and need to post to this one instead http://wordpress.org/support/

We are all volunteers here in this forum for the most part and the response time in these forums is far better than you will experience anywhere else, but having live and things to do outside of wordpress.com means that we all come and go into the forums, and at times you may have to wait a little for help. Posting a minute after you first started a thread will not get you a quicker response, and could end up delaying the volunteer’s responses.

Ummm, check your question again, you said,
i wanna upload WordPress Techstop themeYou can’t do that at wordpress.com. We can’t add or upload themes here.

They are completely separate. These are the differences between them > http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

that’s bad! :( never mind! ok so changing theme of my blog from .com site will delete all my posts n contents?
-
What .com site? The only site we are aware of is this one http://galaxyydroid.wordpress.com/ and there is no upgrade you can purchase form WordPress.com that will provide FTP access and the ability to upload any third party themes into a blog that’s being free hosted by WordPress.com.

Which .com site are you referring to?

nope.. i mean changing theme of my blog from http://galaxyydroid.wordpress.com/wp-admin site will delete all my posts
n contents? -
If you change themes here, or on a self-hosted wordpress.ORG installation, it will not delete your content. There are though a growing number of badly designed .ORG themes that I’ve run across that will lock up wordpress installations and everything will go blank.
That will virtually never happen here at wordpress.COM since all the themes here are vetted, tested and updated to make sure that sort of thing doesn’t happen. Not so with wordpress.ORG themes and there are a good number of bad ones out there. Plugins for .ORG also are far more frequently locking up wordpress.ORG installations.
