It is physically possible to use a microwave oven on the counter that is meant to be mounted but, depending on the design of the unit it could be unsafe, unstable or undesirable. A vent might be covered up preventing proper cooling of internal parts or the unit may not sit level which will cause the food to slide to the back, front or side during cooking. Some units could even allow access to parts that would be covered when properly mounted.

Do you need a vent for an over the range microwave?

It depends on whether you have a mount for the microwave that has an open bottom or if there is a cabinet over the stove. If there is only a mount then yes there are special over stove micros that bottoms are heat resistant to the stoves heat. If there is a cabinet then you can use a regular micro. Either way there should be a vent from the compartment that the micro is in or it could over heat. The special micros have a built in vent that can double as the stove vent.

How do you paint an over the stove range?

An over-the-stove range is an appliance that is mounted level with the counter-top, but not necessarily over a built-in stove. This gets Very hot from the burners. The only materials that I have seen used here are steel, glass, or porcelain. I would discourage the use of even high temperature paint.
