Someone proposes something to do to somebody else, and this one replies saying: --Bugger that! and proposes something different.

Can we translate this "bugger that" as "Absolutely not!"

Thank You

Yes, it means "I'm not doing that". Although the literal meaning of "to bugger" is somewhat different.
