If I was charged with assault on a peace officer and interfering with an arrest, can I get my record cleared since I have witnesses that say I didn’t do this?
I also was trying to prevent my brother from getting beat up by the cops, but in doing so i was punch in the face (temple area). This is my 1st offense in my entire life. These police officers did not explain why my brother was being arrested the just forcefully put cuffs on hm while they were beating him up.

Until you have been convicted of the offense that you have been charged with there is no "conviction" to be cleared later on or sought to be cleared.
I suggest that you consult with a criminal law attorney about the event that led to criminal charges against you and the best way to try and resolve such short of trial. Potentially you might be eligible for "diversion". If so, and you are successful with it, the charge against you could be dismissed.
