Suede Bag (Clean it or Dye it?)

I have a light pink suede bag that has pen marks on it. Silly me tried cleaning it off with a damp cloth and ended up with big discoloured patches. Is there anyway of rectifying this?

I have thought about dying the bag a chocolate brown. Does anyone have any tips on dying suede before I mess it up again?

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
