  You can’t.

  You are limited to the themes we have in our dashboard and the tweaks you can make with CSS (if you know it and have the upgrade).

  WordPress.com has to modify all themes used here on this platform to make sure it will work properly and to make certain it does not introduce any security issues.

  The answers remain the same. You cannot apply external themes to a blog at WP.com.
