It all depends on the law of the state in which the conviction occurred. The court that convicted you will apply the law of its state.
If you are searching for information on expungement in your state, be aware that different states have different names for record clearing. It can be called such things as expungement, record sealing, vacating a conviction, and setting aside a judgment.
Most counties have a public defender's office who will file a petition for record clearance (expungement, vacating, setting-aside, sealing, or whatever it is called in your state) for free-- though most public defenders have a low-income requirement. They may also have packets on how to do it yourself. If you have financial means, you can have an attorney handle it for you. There are law firms that specialize in record clearing.
If your conviction was in federal court, you cannot have your conviction expunged. However, some states, such as http://www.answers.com/topic/Arizona, will allow you to petition to have all of your civil rights and gun rights restored.
Make an appointment to talk to the judge at the court where you were convicted.

Can your misdemeanor charge be expunged?
Yes, you should be able to. To request an expungement: You must first have served the complete term of your sentence - then submit a petition to the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record.

In the state of Nevada the civil rights of a felon have been restored can they own a gun as well?
In Nevada, there is no statute providing for expungement of criminal convictions. You may petition to have the records sealed but it is at the discretion of the court and there are quite a few exceptions. It is my belief (after reading the information), that you cannot regain your firearms rights. As with anything having to do with the law, you may want to retain a Nevada attorney to counsel you.
