There are a lot of "ifs" here. If your offense was punishable as a felony or a misdemeanor (in California called a "wobbler"), and if you were not sentenced to state prison (which includes a suspended sentence), then you could ask the court to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor, and in the future you could lawfully say you were convicted of a misdemeanor.
If you were placed on probation, and completed probation successfully, you could ask for relief under Penal Code section 1203.4. It is not a real "expungement," but it has some benefits. After that, you could apply for a pardon.
If you went to State Prison, you can request a certificate of rehabilitation, and if you get that it also acts as an application for a pardon.

You can't, unless you are falsely arrested and convicted, it is part of your permanent record. The only other thing left is a pardon by the govornor, or the President.
