Ordinarily to be a candidate to get one's prior criminal conviction expunged the conviction must be over five years of age. based upon what you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney experienced in expungements to see whatcan be done. One in your locality can be found through attorneypages.com.
