yes it is possible to do what you want to do.
WordPress has confitional tags. So in your templates you can say things like
if ( is_page('my-special-page') ) {
do this
} else {
do that
}
In terms of how and where you place that, and what do this and do that are, you will have to do a lot of study.

Thanks very much Steve. This is very clear and very helpful — I guess I’ll get to work. One more thing: is it possible to modify a theme in the free version on wordpress.com, or do I need to be using the version downloaded from wordpress.org? Thanks again.
Hi
I’m not quite clear on your new question. I don’t think (not positive) you can download themes from WordPress.com
Automattic, the company behind WordPress, just started a new service where for $99 they will move your WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WP site. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/guided-transfers/
If you want to keep your theme exactly as you have it this might be a way to go. I don’t know anyone who’s used the service so far so I don’t know details on how it works.
I’m using wordpress.com
FULLSTOP
You’re in the wrong support forum. This is the WordPress.ORG support forum, for self-hosted WordPress.
You should try the WordPress.COM support forum.
