In Canada there is a process for applying for a pardon. There is a similar process in the US. These links explain both processes. They are both complicated. In both countries pardons are most usually granted for minor crimes such as shoplifting. If the crime is more serious, often quite a few years must have passed with no further criminal behavior before a pardon will be granted.

Most states have a process called expungement, which will remove for MOST purposes a felony conviction. The rules of each state are different, and many crimes can't be expunged at all. Again, those vary from state to state.
The Federal government has no expungement procedure for most felony convictions. A presidential pardon will remove any civil disability incurred by the conviction, but will not remove the record of the felony itsself.
Contact an attorney licensed in your state for more information on your specific situation. For a referral, contact your local or state bar association.

I'm not sure if a felony can be removed but I know you can work your way out of trouble... If you think about it would you want a convicted child molester, murderer or rapist walking around without a record? Talk to your probation officer...

Govenor's pardon? Presidental pardon? Take a pick.

If you were rightfully convicted, you probably can't have it removed.
Start with an attorney. Ask about expungement.

Can't do it without a governor's pardon.
