If you scan it you might be able to use Photoshop to readjust the color of the digital image.

As far as your original certificate goes you should see a professional paper conservator for advice.

Actually just about any photo editing program should do the job. As K says, scan it, tweak it...

There are lots of free photo editors - Picasa and Irfanview come to mind.
