If you're burning an ISO image of a CD (usually has the extension 
'*.iso'), in K3B you choose (from the top menu)
Tools->Burn CD Image
which will prompt you for the ISO image filename. That does a raw write 
of the image file to the CD, which automatically includes the bootable 
stuff if applicable. (Often only the first CD of a multi-CD set is 
bootable.)

(Creating/importing your own custom boot information is more difficult 
but still possible -- however, this option is not what you want.)
