Yes, if you can paint a wall, you can paint wainscoting.
Home Depot carries a fiber wall paint you could try.
Oak as you probably know is very expensive, so if it's in good shape, skip the paint, keep the oak and take a digital picture of the wainscoting and take it to a wallpaper store and match up some wallpaper. It's a matter of taste and both look good, but wallpaper gives it a more cozy feel. If you are adamant on painting your oak wainscoting then white looks crisp and clean.
Unlike regular wallpaper, repositionable wallpaper is a wallcovering that may be moved around once it is applied to the surface. It facilitates installation especially if you are using a patterned covering or the wall is not plumb. We have repositionable wallcoverings that are also removable and reusable. Original designs are digitally printed on canvas-like vinyl with a unique adhesive backing. This type of wallcovering is great for renters, seasonal or accent decorating, and for use in children's rooms.
Its really dependent on the decor' around the wainscot. - Some varnish for a natural look others stain and varnishing. Those that do paint so so in an egg shell paint which does not show any small defects in the wainscot - gloss make then stand out.
I prefer Wainscoting as it is more durable. Anaglypta Wallcovering is stylish too, but it's easy to be damaged.

There are plenty of sites on the Web for information on wainscoting. Just do a search.
Wainscoting dates back to 16th century England, wainscoting was originally used to protect delicate plaster or stucco, provide insulation and cover water damage caused by poor construction practices. Traditional wainscoting was constructed of custom milled solid wood beadboard panels and trim. Wainscoting was brought to the United States by early English settlers.
To install wainscoting in a room, first measure the height you want it to be and mark the wall. Next, cut the wainscoting panels to size and attach them to the wall with adhesive or nails. Install a chair rail on top of the wainscoting for a finished look. Fill any gaps with caulk and paint or stain the wainscoting as desired.
