Can I transfer to a Californian community college THEN transfer to UCBerkeley?

If you have approx. 30 UC transferable units, you would probably need to spend another year at a California community college to meet the minimum eligibility of 60 semester/90 quarter units.

You will be paying out of state fees at the California CC’s so make sure they are affordable by checking each CC’s cost of attendance. If you take 30 or more units at a California CC, then you can TAG to one of the 6 of the 9 UC campuses.
