When I go to Belgium with a tourist visa, can I get a residence permit if I become a partner in a restaurant while there?

My cousin is a Belgian citizen and owns a restaurant. I'm thinking of partnering with him. I want to go and see it and if I like it, I want to be a partner. Can I do this while I'm there?
