You can, you need to make sure that the paint is the kind that will adhere to vinyl and not peel with the weather changes.
Ask the paint pros at your home improvement store. They have the best materials and advice. Also, make sure the siding is clean...power wash first.

We've used their exterior stain for wood and been quite happy. Not cheap, but has held up well.
Power wash first. Then get recommendation at the paint store.
