Can I still eat garlic paste after it turns green?

You can eat it.

Garlic naturally contains some sulfur-containing compounds, amino acids and organic acids. These substances are originally colorless, but at low temperatures and under acidic conditions, the pyrrole-based amino acids in garlic react with pyruvic acid to generate yellow pigments, and with sulfur-containing allyl thiosulfinate to generate blue pigments. They stack together to give a green color.
