Some states allow for the expungement of convictions but others do not. In order to get all of theinformation that you want, the best thing for you to do is to google the name of the state in which the conviction occurred and the word "expungment". You should find all the information you need in order to determine your eligibility for cleaning your criminal record.
If you are still unclear as to your situation, you can directly consult with a lawyer who specializes in these cases. They can best advise you as to your rights under specific state law (and go over the costs with you).
