Upgrade/change webaddress

I would like upgrade my web address to a .com, AND change it slightly (it seems there is actually a nincompooperific spelling error!?). Can I do this through the simple upgrade process?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello!
WordPress offers two solutions:
1. You can map a domain. In other words you can by a domain from another company (such as GoDaddy) and have it mapped to your WordPress.COM site. WordPress.COM will not appear in the URL. Visitors would see your site
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/2. You can register a domain with WordPress.COM and it will automatically show-up on your site.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/There is a third option. You could buy a domain from a 3rd party (such as GoDaddy) that uses WordPress.ORG rather than the WordPress.COM (the free blog). In doing so you would get your domain name that ends in a .com but you would lose the WordPress.COM settings.
See here for the WordPress.COM and .ORG differences
