As i mention before

U can not update any value in record  from Validation rule
Validation Rules are just for Validation

 

for any kind of action (like update or insert) u need Trigger or Workflow

 

 

create a workflow
every time a record is creaed or edited & does not meet tha perviouse crtatria

set entry crtaita as Status__c, equal to"Active"

 

in action choss field update
chose QA_Check__c from dropdown & set it's value to true

If u can able to update the values from valiadtion rule why we need error msg
U can not update any value in record  from Validation rule
