There seem to be two streams of thought on whether or not cherries will ripen after picking - either that they will not ripen any more or that they will ripen some. The difference could have something to do with the cherry variety, growing conditions, how 'green' they were when picked, or even post-harvest handling - things not under your control with store-bought fruit.
If you care to side with the premise that the cherries can be ripened, try treating them similarly to other stone fruit:
- Tray method: Arrange unripe cherries in single layer on tray. Place tray in cool (not cold) spot out of direct sunlight for a couple days. I'd check their progress several times a day.
- Bag method: Put unripe cherries in a paper bag with a ripe banana. Place bag in cool (not cold) spot out of direct sunlight for a couple days. I'd check their progress several times a day.

If sour cherries are picked before fully ripened will they ripen indoors?
Cherries will ripen if picked after they start to change color. You can place partilly ripe cherries in a bowl or paper bag at room temperature and they will ripen to a degree. We have used the technique on sweet and pie cherries as well as wild cherries. Of course they are not as sweet as cherries picked ripe on the tree but they are an improvement over cherries that you don't get at all because the birds ate them! Greg Schneider

What is the difference between vine ripen and store bought?
Vine ripened means the fruit is left on the plant to mature, and often is used in reference to tomatoes. Most store-bought produce is harvested when it is still unripe due to distances to be traveled to reach the shops, and the commercial necessity of harvesting fruit all at once. Often the store fruit is ripened artificially with a gas. The taste and texture is far inferior to fruit allowed to ripen naturally. Some produce is now available in stores that is vine-ripened and it is usually more expensive but superior in many ways, unless you prefer your food gassed.
