You could try to put wood glue in the crack and than wrap the verga strongly with some cord.
But honestly i doubt that it will be possible to get the same flexibility. You will probably have to replace it.
Painting, slightly burning or even carving a good verga to add a personal touch should be no problem, if you go at it carefully.
