Squier's are a great place to start learning to play and for messing around on. But If you really want cheap to try and make sound good, just go on Ebay and find on of the junkers. For the money your gonna spend on the original guitar, the new pickups, the new bridge, the new nut, the new tuners, the new electronics you are going to be close to the price of a bare bones Fender Tele. If you want something to mod then you have a start in the right direction, but if you want it to sound like a true Tele you might as well save for a few months and buy a real one. Guitar building and modding is not a way to get an authentic sound for less money. Unless you come across a real sweet deal on a used body, you just can't do it as cheaply. If you look at the cost, it just doesn't make sense to try and modify a Squier to get a Fender sound. You spent 300 on the guitar. I am not sure what the conversion rate is, but in the US you are looking at the following prices. New pickup-$60 each. New tuners-$35 minimum. New bridge-$27 minimum. New nut-either about $5 for a nut blank and over $100 in tools, or around $40 for someone else to do it. And about $15 in better quality electronics. You already have about $250 in parts if you go with the cheapest parts you can find. Plus shipping. So you are probably around $280 -$300 in mods on a $300 guitar. And that is without having a fret job done.
