Yes, a magnet can pick up steel BBs because steel contains iron, which is a magnetic material. The magnet will attract the steel BBs due to their magnetic properties.

Can you charge steel with a magnet and can the steel have a temporary magnetic field?

If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.
