Yes, you can, but I'm puzzled as to why you waste time staining it if it's just going to be painted over . Have I got the meaning correct.

***Be sure to use several coats of sanding sealer before applying the paint, as stain may try to ooze forth, over time.

First you will need to apply a coat pf primer. Otherwise your paint will not adhere to the varnished paneling. Once the primer has dried you can apply nearly any paint to it you want.

Can you stain a deck on top of oil paint?

You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.

How long does it take for watercolors to dry on wood?

If the wood stain is oil based, good luck with that. Latex will dry over dry oil base, but not the reverse. Oil based paints need to penetrate the wood, which is obviously not possible with latex in the way. If the stain is water based, you should have a firm drying in about two hours, permanent in 24.
