Can you play Mind Rape on a tapped vampire?

Is not a matter of if you CAN or NOT burn Mind Rape. You MUST burn Mind Rape during your minion phase.

I'm pretty certain the question was about whether you can "take control" of something you already control (you can, redundantly). If you're prohibited from doing something, certain cards and effects can get "stuck", even if specified as mandatory. e.g. a vampire with a Talbot's Chainsaw cannot hunt, even though certain effects may try to force them to hunt.

1. Burn Mind Rape to untap the stolen vampire, since burning Mind Rape during your minion phase is mandatory
2. Use Graverobbing (since you want to use it)
3. Do whatever other stuff you want to do
4. ...

Mind Rape is mandatory therefor-aswith hunts, it goes first.
