There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.Relevant support docs:

To install plugins or third party themes into a site then you have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database.

How do i amend the theme
I am sorry that there are repetitious sections above. However, I think you will be able to read around them. All blogs wearing that same themes at wordpress.com are using the same underlying template and we cannot access and edit that template.
The custom design upgrade can be purchased and renewed as a separate upgrade only by those who have username accounts registered prior to September 1st, 2014. See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable custom and CSS editing:
