I’m sorry but you can’t install a third party theme on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. We do not have FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we not able to upload third party themes.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/The only themes you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog are those found here > Appearance > Themes and showcased here > http://wordpress.com/themes/ We cannot access and edit any templates underlying our themes. Only Staff can edit as every blog wearing the same theme is using the same template.
Unless you are prepared to pay for a VIP account, http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes this at WordPress.COM.
To upload themes you need to hire a web host and set up a WordPress.ORG install. To clearly understand the differences between WordPress.COM free hosted blogs and WordPress>ORG installs for self hosting read this comparison > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Very Simple – you can’t upload your own theme here – security, and performance issues – the themes are highly modified to add features to make blogging easier. You are limited to the 220+ themes from your dashboard
You should be able to get your money back – common error
