  You can upload .zip, files if you have the WordPress.com Premium http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/or WordPress.com Business plan http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/. See the Uploading Documents help page for examples and details. http://support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  Thank you, I’m running into a bit of confusing because I have free plan and I don’t see a upload theme button. Also confused I saw a wordpress.org and how you can download a platform ??

  No. The upgrades wordpress.COM sells are available for use only on wordpress.COM hosted sites. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  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/

  This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform:
  Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  For a wordpress.ORG software install on paid hosting if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
