Don't break the rules

Well, I wish you'd given some background. It would make it easier to answer. I looked at your profile to see if I could get a clue from a previous question and I see a question about beer and a question about hacking into a computer. Don't know if there's any relevance. It might just be that you did something pretty bad and you got off easy with 4 weeks grounding, in which case, no clever idea is going to help you. However, on the outside chance that I'm wrong and you have been punished excessively, try this ...
Do nothing but serve your time quietly and politely for one week. In fact, go out of your way to show extra good behavior, do things to help out, be the first to jump up and clear the table, straighten up the house before you go to bed, clean your room, etc. After one full week, ask your parent for a sit-down talk. DO NOT ASK TO HAVE YOUR SENTENCE SHORTENED. Simply sit them down and sincerely tell them you have done a lot of thinking about what you did, you are genuninely sorry, you can promise it isn't going to happen again, you understand what a difficult job it is to be the parent and have to decide how to keep the kid safe and help them learn their lessons and you appreciate that it's as hard for them to be the "bad guy" as it is for you to take your punishment. Wrap it up with an "I just wanted you to know I'm not mad at you for punishing me, and I understand," and give them a big hug and a heartfelt "I love you." If you can do these things and be sincere and mean it, and they can tell you do, then I will guarantee you that you will find yourself with a shortened sentence. It may not happen that moment, but within a few days after, you should get a repreive. At the very least, you will be treated better than most common teens under house arrest, and that will make the time go more quickly.

Go downstairs turn right. Go 15 paces down the hall and go into the master dining room. Go into the far right door on the other side of the table. Go to the end of the kitchen and open the bottom cabinet. There you will see Vicadin, a couple of Penthouses, and a bottle of Johnny Walker. Take all three of these and return to room. Consume and read. You will sober up about 4 weeks later and remember nothing. Its like it never happened!

I'm assuming you must have done something pretty serious to be grounded for 4 weeks. Show your parents that you accept this punishment and do whatever is asked of you quietly and respectfully. After 2 weeks of excellent behavior, approach them and ask if they will lift the punishment early.

4weeks? only.
Longest I have got grounded was 1year and 6months.
Don't do it in the first place.
You did something bad, so now you have to suffer the consequences, even if you don't like it.
Your parents are doing this for your own good.
Just tell them you are sorry(and mean it), and tell them that you understand that you did something wrong, and that you accept the consequences. Because just trying to get out of it(arguing, crying etc.) Doesn't do anything, it just shows you are immature.

Talk to your parents (or boss) about the siutation. If it was breaking the rules, then admit what actually happened. Don't accuse or yell. I was never really grounded when I was a kid, so I can't help you beyond those items.
Maybe you can barter (good behavior, housework) for time off like they do in prison.

By not doing whatever it was you did in the first place to merit the 4 weeks. Naturally after 'doing your time". Take it on the chin, quit snivelling and learn from your mistakes. That's life. At least it was a fatal mistake or act that got you in hot water.

My children get to pick a spanking or grounding (until they move out of the house). 4 weeks is a waste, you lean nothing but how to wear down your parents resolve.

Talk to your parents. Tell them that you realize what you did wrong. Then ask them what you can do to get out of being grounded. Say that you'll do anything.

Tell them you're very sorry, and that punishment is a less effective form of behavior modification.
Tell them they should not discipline you when you do something wrong, rather, they should reward you when you do something good. Because positive reinforcement works better and faster than negative reinforcement.
