The bible says in Revelation 3:5 that those who are going heaven are those whose name is in the book of life. God had recently brought the Israelites out of over 400 years of slavery (Exodus 1-12) and had also revealed His majesty to them when He promulagated His eternal Law on Mt Sinai (Exodus 20). God had called Moses to come and dwell with Him and despite Moses only being away for less than 40 days the Israelites asked Aaron to make them another God (Exodus 32). God was justifiably upset and for the greater good of the multitude (Eccl 8:11) decided to punish them. Moses was basically saying to God "blot out my existence- I would prefer not to go heaven than to see these people that I love perish". God who I believe wanted Moses to interceed for His people decided not to grant Moses request but he mercifully did not destroy all the guilty people. Moses did not want the people that he loves to die and that is why he asked for God to blot his name out and spare the people (Exodus 32:31-33).

Moses did not tell God to blot his name out of The Bible. In fact, it was Moses who interceded on behalf of the Israelites when God was angry with them for worshiping the golden calf. Moses pleaded for their forgiveness and asked God to spare them.
