Yes, you can, if you wish to go through the legal steps to accomplish it. To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid 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. Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.

A pardon does not erase or remove a felony conviction from your record.

Expungement is not an automatic process. It has te be requested by submitting a petition to the court, setting forth the reason you believe it should be granted.

You will always remain on record as convicted of the crime and (if a felon) always be subject to the restirctions that federal (and local) laws place on convicted felons.
