If it has been less than five years since the date of your conviction or adjudication, you cannot get your criminal record expunged now. You must wait until five years have passed from the date of your conviction or from the date of your juvenile adjudication. You may be able to get an expungement once the five years are up.

Depends on how long it's been since your DUI conviction. Within the first three years of your DUI conviction, there's pretty much no chance - the cost to insure you would be much too great. Four to five years after your conviction, you'll still experience some difficulty, and may continue to experience it up to seven years after your conviction. After seven years, it shouldn't be much of a hassle.
How do you get a first offense overturned?
If you have reason to believe that a statute has been amended and as a result you COULD have your conviction overturned, see an attorney.

An assistant clerk might help you understand whether you are ABLE to apply for expungement.

What does it mean when a case is reversed and remanded case remanded for resentencing otherwise affirmed?
It looks like the decision of an appeal court. It's too bad that the question is not posed clearly. An appeal court reverses a decision when it changes the decision that is being appealed from. An appeal court affirms a decision when it decides not to change it. A matter before the courts is "remanded" when it is put over to another day. The word "remanded" is particularly used in criminal matters especially where the accused person is in custody. My guess is that the story goes something like this: A person has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term in jail. While he is serving his sentence, his lawyer has launched an appeal both against the conviction and against the sentence, stating that the jail term was too long. The appeal court has rejected the appeal against conviction but has accepted the appeal against sentence. The sentence "is reversed" and the prisoner remanded in custody until the lower court can impose a more appropriate sentence, "resentencing". However, the conviction stands; it is "otherwise affirmed".
What do states do with wrongly convicted?
Your term "Wrongly convicted" covers a whole lot of different areas. Each state has its own procedures. At the trial a person is found guilty or not guilty. (In Europe there is also a verdict of Innocent.) There is a possible appeal. After appeal review, and sentencing, the conviction is final. A person is then convicted. After that post conviction relief is possible. If new evidence is discovered that could have been presented in a trial, the prisoner submits a petition to the trial court. (It has a technical name. There are many possible petitions. See a lawyer for your state.) If the judge goofed up, there are motions to the appeal court. (See a lawyer for the technical rules for your state.) If all else fails, your state has a provision for a pardon. The various state legislatures have generally made provision for payment for the time spent in prison for persons wrongfully convicted. (As a result, Judges will sometimes have a person plead guilty to a small crime in exchange for time served!)
