You are not able to add A records if your domain is registered through WordPress.com. You can, however, update your Nameservers to point to your new host (you would need to ask your new host for the appropriate Nameservers that you must use). You can check out http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-name-servers for additional details on making those changes.
Your other option is to wait 60 days (since the domain’s registration/purchase) and then transfer it to another registrar, one that does allow the configuration of additional A records: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar
