Capacitors are usually not rated by current but by max voltage rating and the microfarads of capacitance they have.
As to how many electrons (charge) a capacitor is holding that is a formula that escapes me. It's been way too long since I went to scool on that sort of stuff.
Search for electronic formulas on farad, ampere, and coulomh and you should find the answer you seek.

Capacitors only have a mximum voltage rating but you have to use common sense. You can't put 100 amps through a cap with size 22 wire.

delta (i) = C* (delta v/ delta t)
i = current
C = capacitance
v = voltage
t = time..
