1. you can't change WP theme after WP blog born, why? If you do this, the footer link of the original theme will be there forever lol, because the system does not support you alter WP theme code.
You can and were always able to, you just need to create a child theme. That is because we do auto-update of themes and if you edited the original, all changes would get overwritten with the update. Help article.
