Answer 1

EDIT

You can not disable the default WordPress.com feed but you have an option:

If you have the css upgrade, add #feedarea {display:none;} to remove the default links. Use the feedburner widget code and add it to a text widget. Assign a class to it and using css absolute positioning move it to where the default links were.

My Original Answer below only applies to self hosted WordPress

Claim your feed URLs at Feedburner

Then add this to your .htaccess under #END WORDPRESS

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(feed|wp-atom|wp-feed|wp-rss|wp-rdf|wp-commentsrss)(.+)\ HTTP/ [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^feed [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^(FeedBurner|FeedValidator) [NC] RewriteRule .* http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerURL? [R=307,L] RewriteRule ^comments/?.*$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerCommentsURL [L,R=302]

Answer 2

Your question is about wordpress.com, a webapplication hosting service that is using the wordpress software but wordpress.com is not fully in the scope of my answers on this Q&A site, because I don't have access to do administration and support on wordpress.com normally and therefore I'm not able to answer it with the same level of technical detail I can offer for the wordpress blogging software that can be freely downloaded.

Please ask your question to wordpress.com support. In case that does not help you much, there is also a Q&A site dedicated to hosted web-applications (like but not exclusively wordpress.com): Web Applications Stack Exchange.

I hope at least this information is somehow helpful.
