No, however it will show up as a reduced charge. "Expunged" means that the record will be removed from your publicly accessible record. It never disappears from your official criminal record.

If you are on probation for a felony and commit the same crime it is a felony. If you are on probation for a misdemeanor and commit the same crime it usually will be a misdemeanor.

This differs from state to state.

You had adjudication withheld for possession of a concealed firearm you were wanting to know if you could get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor Then clear it off your record completely?

In order to get it cleared off your record you would have to go through the same process regardless of whether it was a felony OR a misdemeanor. The process is known as expungement. There seems to be no point in going through the process of getting it reduced first. Suggest that you contact an attorney to assist you with the matter according to the laws of your state as the process is not a do-it-yoursef type exercise.
