Hi there!
First off, check if the theme is available in wordpress.org themes: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
If it’s not, find the name of the theme developer and contact them. Many developers of wordpress.com themes are happy for people to use their themes on self-hosted WordPress blogs. The developer’s name and contact details can be found by looking at style.css. You can see the content of style.css by viewing the CSS file in your browser. Alternatively, navigate to style.css for the theme you want in the wordpress.com theme repository: https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/ This is also where you download the theme.
You must seek permission from the theme’s author before you download and use their theme unless the theme’s style.css includes a note to say it is released under the GPL. If it’s GPL then permission has already been given.
For plugins, you need to download them from wordpress.org. If they are not available there you will need to find acceptable replacements or track down who developed them and ask if the plugins are going to be made available.

can a wordpress.com theme be transferred to wordpress.org
Please read:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/Note: Premium Themes that are set up for WordPress.com use only cannot be transferred to self-hosted WordPress.org sites. Some Automattic-developed Premium themes can be transferred to a self-hosted site at no charge, as part of a Guided Transfer only http://support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/. Please post in the Premium theme forums if you’d like to know whether your theme qualifies. https://en.support.wordpress.com/premium-themes/
otherwise, be keenly aware that you cannot transfer any theme from https://wordpress.com/themes/ which is licensed and adapted to run on WordPress.COM software to a WordPress.ORG site, and visa versa. The two run on different software and have different versions of themes with the same names. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
See Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress https://move.wordpress.com
The wordpress.ORG support forum link is http://wordpress.org/support/ The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
