I had an assignment to convert a limited BPMN to a UML profile. Here are some references that you might find useful:

UML Profile for BPMN 2 Processes

The document follows these specifications:

BPMN 2.0 Specification, UML 2.4.1 Specification,QVT 1.1 Specification and XML Schema 1.0

Here's a QVT model to transform the BPMN model to UML. Just as a word of caution, initially, the BPMN concepts look very similar to an UML Activity diagram. But mapping all concepts of BPMN to UML is not a trivial exercise and might take a while.

Also, you could use eclipse's GMF to make your transformation as I thought it was doable with the documents available. Here's a tutorial on using the BPMN

I guess that the concrete steps will depends on the tools you will use. Have you choose it? Concernning profile I use Modelio or Eclipse UML2 but I guess that most of UML2 tools be fine.
