Perhaps you have mixed up your words in your question. It makes sense if read as, "If you painted your side of your neighbor's wood fence can the neighbor make you replace it with a new wood fence?" If that is the case, you had no right to paint your neighbor's fence without their permission and the answer to your question is they can sue you in court for damaging their property.

If they sue you in court and prevail, they have the right to be restored to the position they were in before you damaged their property. If the fence is new the court may award enough damages to cover a new fence. If the fence is older, the court may pro-rate the value. While your neighbor cannot make you replace the fence, the court can and you may have the added burden of legal expenses. You should try to negotiate a friendly agreement to resolve the issue either by repainting the fence to please your neighbor or perhaps offering to share the cost of a new fence.

As a lifetime lesson, it is more prudent to let the neighbor know your intentions, even if it is your side of the fence, or if you think you are doing them a favor.

It is your fence. Of course you can paint it if you want to.

If you are not on good terms with your neighbor and did not place the fence far enough back from the property line, you may have to assume some awkward positions to accomplish that.

It depends. If by "on your side" you mean it is facing your house, no. If by "on your side" you mean it is on your property, probably.

No, you cannot. The fence is the property of your neighbor and you have no right to paint it.
