  You can’t.

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  Relevant support docs:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  Uh oh. I’m so disappointed. I purchased ($49!) a cool theme from Mojo Marketplace yesterday! I have never done any of this before-I’m definitely spinning! I created my own domain, purchased the theme and then set up my WordPress blog. I even managed (I think) to switch it from wordpress.com to just my domain .com. Have I somehow missed something? In your opinion should I try and get a refund from Mojo? Thanks for your help!

  Yes. You cannot use the theme on any WordPress.COM hosted site so request a refund.
