If you want the ability to edit PHP such as the example you posted above, then you would indeed need to switch to a WordPress.org setup.

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. Read the full section here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

I have tried pasting this:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . 'ID) . '"> Read More...';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

...into the Customization CSS section. It does nothing for me. Can someone explain to me in the most basic terms how to get this function?
