Hi there, it depends on the type of caulk. Some is paintable, some isn't. I would use an oil based paint (just buy a little can) and see how it goes.
Yes you can paint caulk, https://www.hunker.com/13414956/how-to-paint-over-silicone-caulk
You may want to take out caulk and do it over... a fairly easy job

If it is paintable caulk, you can paint it and it will stay one. If it is silicone caulk, typically used in bath area, the paint will peel right off. I'd recommend removing the caulk and re-caulking with a good silicone white caulk. (click here to go to link for white caulk)
You can re caulk or try to clean with bleach and a toothbrush.
