No. The whitewash seals the wood and the wood will no longer accept any stain. You could try using a gel stain and create your own grain using an old technique known as graining but this is hard and it doesn't often turn out as good as you would like, especially if you've never done it before. The only way to staiin over whitewash is to strip it completely and then sand off a good top layer since small open grain areas will have absorbed the whitewash down deep. Good Luck.

The best techniques for applying a whitewash stain to wood furniture for a rustic finish involve diluting the stain with water, applying it in the direction of the wood grain using a brush or rag, and then wiping off excess stain to achieve a weathered look. Sanding the wood beforehand can help the stain adhere better and create a more even finish.
To achieve a beautiful and even finish when applying a whitewash wood stain, it is best to start by preparing the wood surface by sanding it smooth and clean. Next, apply the whitewash stain in thin, even coats using a brush or rag, working in the direction of the wood grain. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. To enhance the finish, consider using a wood conditioner before staining and a clear topcoat after staining for added protection and shine.
To tone down oak stain, you can apply a coat of a lighter-colored stain or a tinted topcoat. You can also use a glaze or a whitewash to soften the color of the oak stain. Another option is to sand down the stained surface lightly to remove some of the color before applying a lighter stain.
