No, you cannot replace a Siemens circuit breaker with an Eaton breaker (whether Type BR or Type CH) inside a Siemens electrical panel. Siemens and Eaton load centers utilize entirely different proprietary bus bar dimensions, enclosure depths, and mounting clip geometries. Installing a non-approved brand violates electrical codes, compromises the physical connection, creates severe arcing and electrical fire risks, and instantly voids all equipment safety listings and warranties.
