Do you want the wood itself to be visible? If so, staining it in your choice of color would be a good option. If you want to hide the wood, there are all kinds of painting techniques (i.e. faux marble or granite) that would be a lot less expensive and less hassle than covering it with tile.
If the counter is in good shape why not just paint it or use a kit from a home improvement store to give it a marble or granite look?
Yes, Catherine, you can put tile right on top of wood. Just follow this guy's directions for tiling his wooden table.
