If I understand your question, the word 'clear" means that you want to eliminate your criminal conviction while you still on probation. Unfortunately for you, under the laws of all states in this country, you will be unable to "expunge" you criminal conviction while you are still on probation for this conviction.
I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney as to how one may be able to get a criminal conviction expunged, the costs involved and the chances for success.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
