Good question. If you want to get the crime that you were convicted of, I suggest that you pay the court ordered restitution as soon as possible, and over the next couple of years be an upstanding citizen and do community service work during that time period.
After the passage of this two year period, consult with a criminal defense attorney regarding the chances of a successful motion to expunge your criminal conviction. No judge is going to overturn the judge that revoked your expungement in the near future.
