Hi Rocko,
You could use peel and stick tiles, they are lightweight-made of Styrofoam-you can get them from Amazon, they have a good selection and you can paint and cut where you need to.
You can moisten & scrape off. Then prime & paint. Lots of trouble, lots of messy clean up but worth the effort.

If it's been painted over, it will be difficult/impossible to remove. You can SCREW 1/8" thick boards, beadboard, etc. to the ceiling joists to cover it over.
