Unless you have special skills, probably impossible.

Yes, if you want to stay on Bali (or anywhere else in Indonesia) you can start with a 60 day visit visa (which you can extend to a full 180 day stay) and then work your way up to a KITAS (residency visa).

As for legally being able to work here, that will not happen, at least not initially.

Regarding your boyfriend (which I presume is Balinese), you might have a look at the excellent UK home office sites on the internet regarding required visas, residency and such.
