Can you use whiteout on a personal bank check if you made a mistake on it?

Probably not. Any alteration to the check will usually make it unacceptable, since anyone could put white-out on a check to change it.
The thing to do would be to write "VOID" across your check, shred it, and start a new one.

Should the bank refund me if they made the mistake?
I went to my bank to get check to pay my rent for the month. The bank accidentally gave me a check from an account which was closed over 5 years ago instead of my active account. I didn't notice the account number on the check. So I used that check to pay the rent, but the check bounced because it was from a closed account. Now the apartment company billed me $140 because of the bounced check. Should the bank have to cover that $140 bill because they are the one's that made the mistake with the check?
Who can certify a check?
Only the bank can certify a check, or someone at the bank. Usually, the bank will not certify a personal check, they will issue what is called a "certified check". A certified check is guaranteed to have available funds by the bank that certifies it. Certified means the funds are held aside. Anyone with a certified check made out to them can go to that bank and collect cash. In days of banking past, you could have a personal or business check certified by the bank, and they would stamp the check "certified" and hold the funds aside on that item. Now, the bank will just issue a certified check after taking the money from your account and the certified check will be drawn on the bank's account. This answer is for the U.S. banking system.
