About Oxygen them: on front (static) (showcase) page; the text on featured image shows title (of sticky post) and and date of post. Can I change that to, say: change title to name of the featured image, change date of post to a punch line?

It helps a ton to point to a specific example. I looked at http://orientaltextiles.wordpress.com/ and I see you’ve hidden the date in the post slider using the following custom CSS:
```
.featured-post .entry-meta {
	display: none;
}
```
Can I change that to, say: change title to name of the featured image, change date of post to a punch line?

I’m sorry but CSS is only for changing the appearance of things that already exist on the page. CSS cannot be used to make dynamic changes to post titles or display featured image titles or change dates to punch lines like you’ve suggested. Sorry about that!

So CSS can’t do the jobs :( Are there ways to make the dynamic changes, say, change post titles to names of featured images / change dates to punch lines?

Not at WordPress.com, but you could absolutely switch to WordPress.org to do things like that! Getting your own hosting account and setting up the free WordPress.org software on your own means you get full, unrestricted access to change anything, including any code. It’s a tradeoff in a couple regards. For example, WordPress.com has staffed support and WordPress.org support is volunteer based. You can find out more about the differenced at http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
