I am not sure how to do this map. I don't know how I can place in particular that element that is in R/Q to R while still being an bijection.
I am trying to map R into the R, such that my map fixes some finite set of rational numbers and sends one element from R\Q into Q.

You can just use straight lines between the points. Say you want to fix $0,1,2$ and send $\sqrt 2$ to $\frac 32$. Then you have have
$f(x)=\begin {cases} x & x \le 1 \\\\ 1+\frac {.5}{\sqrt 2-1}(x-1) & 1 \lt x \le \sqrt 2 \\\\ \frac 32+\frac {.5}{2-\sqrt 2}(x-\sqrt 2) & \sqrt 2 \lt x \le 2 \\\\x & x \gt 2\end {cases}$
