What you are able to do with Qmiles depends on the rules of the Qatar Airways frequent flyer programme. In general, you cannot upgrade a paid ticket on another airline, which is what you want to do. But if you have enough Qmiles you could redeem them to get the BA ticket you want.

So even if I'm booking a ticket on qatarairways.com with Qatar and flying on Qatar, instead of receiving Qmiles, just because I entered my BA ff number I'll receive Avios to my BA account?
Sorry for my bad English!
Yes. How many Avios you earn will depend on marketing carrier (QR or CX in your example) and the booking class - again this will be in
the rules of the BA frequent flyer programme.
