Not over the varnish, no. You have to sand the varnish completely off and then apply the stain. I highly recommend that you hire a pro hardwood contractor, because that is my profession, and I have seen many floors that a homeowner tried to sand themselves and ruined. The sanders that we use are powerful, and if you don't know how to operate them properly, you will do damage to your wood floors.

Do I need to varnish natural slate to use it as a cheese platter?
I would think it should be sealed with something. As a test, lick the slate and see if you get a mineral or dirt taste. If so, this could transfer to the cheese. I wonder if mineral oil applied and buffed off might not seal it well enough. You can mix varnish and lacquer thinner 50/50 and rub it on. This penetrates more and does not leave as much of a surface of varnish.

How do you remove scratches from hard wood floors?
This depends on the severity of the scratch. Some of them can be fixed with a lick of wood varnish. Some of them are more severe and need to be sanded down before applying a new coat of varnish. If this isn't possible, then you'll have to replace at least part of the floor.
