The kind of custumizing I want to do is get a third party theme and install to my blog am I able to do that for free.

The only themes you can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs are the 208 found here > Dashboard > Appearance > Themes

There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

There is no upgrade that you can purchase from WordPress.com that provides FTP access and the ability to upload themes into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. See > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

On one hand, none of the characteristic "blog" features likes categories, tags, authors, dates, etc. can be removed from a free hosted WordPress.com blog without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade and doing the required CSS editing.

On that other hand, one can hire a web host and set up their own self hosted WordPress.org install. Then they can hack a WordPress.org theme free of charge.

I know that the answer is probably no but I made a wordpress blog so google could not take it down BUT wordpress has many restrictions when custumizing blog. I have heard you could custumize your blog on wordpress.org but I do not have the extra money to put in my blog. The kind of custumizing I want to do is get a third party theme and install to my blog am I able to do that for free.
Sorry for bothering :)
