KDE usually runs on Unix like system, which means there are usually several 
kind of scripting languages available.
Some higher level scripting languages like Python or Ruby even have direct KDE 
bindings available.

You would have to check K3B's DCOP interface if it allows starting the 
burining process.
If not you could run a simple script which starts the commandline tool 
cdrecord with the downloaded image.
When using kfmclient to download the file it uses the same KDE IO techology as 
starting the download from Konqueror

There are a lot of option here :)

Cheers,
Kevin
