I want to have a blog that I can edit freely, the HTML part of it. Can I create a blog in WordPress.com and then use domain mapping service? And also can I go with Child Themes to edit my blog?

As users of free blogs at WordPress.com, we aren’t able to upload themes or edit their HTML. We are limited to the themes that are available in the menu already. The ability to install themes is limited to sites that are hosted at third party web hosts using the free WordPress software available at WordPress.org.
You can purchase the Custom Design addon and use custom CSS to modify the look of any theme, however.
For more information on the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, read the following article:

You are in the wrong place for editing HTML, creating themes and editing themes. Because of the way WordPress.com’s technical infrastructure is designed, we are not able to support uploading of custom WordPress themes on our service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/
Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications, suitable hosts can be found here. http://wordpress.org/hosting/ Read more about why here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
