Well, if you had the Dragon Age 2 DVD, you could at least install that game from the very same disc. As for Dragon Age: Origins or anything bought from Origin/Steam... no luck. Blame EA for that, the Mac versions exist, they just don't want to be helpful or would rather see you pay twice.
Such things are the reason I prefer Bootcamp. Scratch Mac gaming, the publishers don't want to support you.

This here is a pure user forum. You can't do official EA business here. You'd have to contact EA support, but I doubt they can help you with this.
If you have the Mac version of DA:O, you can download the Windows version from EA and use the same code. Unfortunately, you can't legally download the Mac version from EA. However, I don't know how it works with Steam/Origin.
BootCamp means you have to create a new partition on your Mac HD and install Windows on it. You can then either boot into Mac OSX or into Windows. But you'll have to sacrifice Disk space for the partition and you'll have Windows running on your Mac.
It's like inviting in a dog that isn't home-trained. Do it at your own risk...
Here's something that's been made for people like you, though it's only for DA:Origins:
DAO wrapper
It's a wrapper, which is a FREE(!) program that makes a Windows program believe that it is running on Windows, by intercepting all communication between the program and your mac and "translating" it. It basically creates a "virtual Windows machine" around the game, with minimal lag. No need to install Windows, though it might be a bit complicated. Read the instructions and forum posts carefully.
No guarantee that it works, but I have played games like Mass Effect, Half-Life, and Skyrim with similar wrappers, and it generally works beautifully! (apart from a few glitches, but the official Mac versions aren't flawless either...)
Thinking of it, again it might not work with Steam or Origin versions. Unless you are very tech-savy...
