We cannot edit themes or templates here at wordpress.com where we are all working on a multiuser blogging platform. Here all blogs wearing the same theme are using the same template so we bloggers cannot access those files. Only Staff can edit them as when they do each edit made affects all blogs wearing the same theme. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/
Please read this entry so you comprehend the differences between free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM and free software installs for self hosting from wordpress.ORG > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

We cannot add themes at wordpress.COM, we are limited to the 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.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.
Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.
If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

Also note that the reason you have a “404” (page not found) on your front page is because you deleted the “Hello World” post. As soon as you publish a post that error message will disappear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/
