You can't stain a door that is already sealed. You have to first remove the sealer down to bare wood so that the stain can penetrate into the wood to the color desired, then reseal with a polyurethane or spar varnish.

Do you need to paint fiberglass door?

Fiberglass is dangerous. You have to have a confined set-up to work with it and spray it in a waterfall booth. This is so that the water catches the fibers in a drain and doesn't release them to the environment You can either paint it or woodgrain it. If you want to paint it, just prime it and paint it like it was a steel door. Woodgraining the door requires gel stain and a graining tool. The Zar brand does a lot of advertising on HGTV (well, at least they did) to claim it has the only system to use to woodgrain a fiberglass or steel entry door, but there are several gel stain systems out there and all of them work.

Can you stain a white door?

If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.
