Most good craft stores carry fabric paint. You can get it in squeeze tubes, of jars, it comes in hundreds of colours, five or six different finishes and several systems to "set" the colour.
If that isn't enough there are special mediums you can mix with ordinary craft paints to use on fabric.
I recommend you spend a little time reading the packaging of the various types available in your local craft store and decide from there.

You can, but (like anything, I guess) you are taking chances. Here are some things to consider. Acrylic dries into a plastic slab. This slab is more pliable than some plastics, not as pliable as others. Just how thick is the painting? The tighter you roll the painting, the higher the risk of cracking. Are you rolling it up for shipping or just for storage? How dry is the storage environment? I can't give a recommendation without seeing the actual painting. Use your best judgement, taking into account the value (artistic, sentimental or monetary) of the painting and your alternatives (storing/shipping flat). ADDENDUM: A big consideration should be how re-stretching the painting might distort/damage the image.
