You '''can''' cut off the moldy parts and use the rest. Most vegetables have tough cell walls (biology), so even if mold takes over one part of the vegetable it doesn't necessarily take over the rest. One way to know if you've cut off all the mold, is to rinse what's remaining and make sure it smells ok.
