Depends on the state. In some states after a period of time you can have the record sealed if you have a clean record after a given period of time.
Check with a lawyer. Call lawyer referral service. That won't cost much (less than $50, probably).

You made a CHOICE to break the law. Don't blame law abiding citizens for the choices that YOU made for YOUR life. Your screwed yourself. Suck up and deal with the fate YOU handed yourself.
