  No it’s not possible as the two run on different software.

  For themes for WordPress.org installs see here > http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
  Also note that we do not provide support for WordPress.org installs on this WordPress.com forum. It’s provided here http://wordpress.org/support/

  Many, though not all, of the themes on WordPress.com are also available to download/purchase for use on a self-hosted WordPress.org site.

  You can check to see if a free theme is available at the WordPress.org theme repository at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ . If you’re using a premium theme, you would need to purchase it directly from the company that designed it. However, your purchase of such a theme on WordPress.com would not transfer to a self-hosted site.
