Small amounts of stain can usually be painted over quite easily. You should give it a light sand, especially if it is a combined stain/varnish, to provide a key for the paint to stick to but you don't need to sand it all off.
It would be worthwhile applying a little oil-based undercoat first, or better still, a stain blocking primer, to help block the colour of the stain and give a decent base for the paint. You might find that the emulsion will just cover the stain by itself though.
