What type of material is the crate? A wood crate could be painted with a watered down white paint to get the whitewash look. If it's plastic, I think you would need to use a paint meant for that.
Start by sanding down the crate using a small piece of sandpaper then mix together some white emulsion paint and some water, quite a lot of water. Make it quite watery at first because you can always build it up if you want o. Apply the mixture with a brush in small sections and then rub it in using a sponge. (I tried using a rag but didn’t like the finish as much as I did with a sponge). I did this all over working a section at a time. After the first coat dried I did it all over again for a second coat. Do until you have reached to look you are going for.
