This person deliberately lied to a judge to block my termination of probation. She made one mistake. She thought I would not notice. I have re-motioned and feel I will be vindicated. My power is that I have been 100% compliant and am in the driver seat. I want to get her fired to set an example for a corrupt county attorney office. How do I sue her for slander or whatever on a personal basis?

You can't.
She has absolute immunity from suit for actions taken in the course of her employment.
You can file a complaint with her boss.

Previous responders have outlined the "immunity from prosecution" enjoy by prosecutors.
However, in addition to filing a gievance, with plenty of documentation, with the Bar Association of your state, may I suggest another route to insure the integrity of the democracy where you reside?
Approach this matter with the County Commissioners or County Board members. They are the ones who sign the checks for the ADA & Prosecutor.
Make your argument non-hysterical & fact-laden.
The County Commission is elected & therefore subject to the pressure of public opinion expressed by voters.
Take this matter to the local media.
If this ADA is a liar, chances are you're not the first victim.
Possibly that ADA is waiting to step into the Prosecutor's seat when that person goes away (retirement, election to judge, conviction, etc.), so plan a long campaign to be the undoing of this alleged prevaricator.
Good luck! Our county is in the throes of a similar battle, with many angry citizens trying to oust a former incompetent ADA, who has since been appointed DA.
It's been bloody, but it's not over!

Although you cannot sue the attorney, another option that you have is filing a complaint with the State Bar (of whatever state you are in) against the attorney for an ethical violation.
This will subject to the attorney to an investigation, and, if your claim has merit, possible professional discipline.

Can't be done. Things said during court proceedings cannot be sued on for defamation. Otherwise, everyone would sue over the court proceedings, and things would come to a grinding halt.
The best you can do is go to the DA/County Attorney with your case. He can fire her. But probably won't since it will appear to the reasonable person that she was mistaken and not that she was intentionally doing wrong. Especially if you fail at your next motion hearing.
