I think you are out of luck barring the ability to UFC at check in... and I have no idea whether Egyptair allows that.. sorry...
I've found upgrading tickets for miles with Egyptair so difficult that I status matched to CO and now get all my miles from travel with Egyptair applied to the CO card.
So my guess is that it won't be easy. Sometimes you can cash for upgrade but usually it is ridiculously expensive.
