Most states now have expungement programs. Contact your local Criminal Clerk of Court to find out how to file for expungement. They would be the ones to tell you how to go about doing this. Usually, you just file the document and if it is your first offense and it is a non violent offense, you should have no problem.

Another View: Unless the offense occurred prior to your 18th birthday it becomes a permanent part of your adult criminal history record.

The process for expunction is different in all states. The process for applying for them varies - there are certain qualifications that you must meet - there is no such thing as a 'blanket' expungement of ALL offenses - and the expungement is limited to once per lifetime. The process is not easy and is usually not a do-it-yourself process. You may want to consult with an attorney on this before making a decision.
