You will be sorely disappointed if you think you've found a clever/cheaper way to end up in La Première.
Buying business class with the full intention of then buying an upgrade to First is a rather unusual way to go about things. It's certainly not going to save you any money (and by adding in the possible step of having to pay a change fee, it may even end up costing you more).
