You typically have to file an appeal with the governor. If you've already served your time, a pardon won't do you any good - a pardon is only advantageous to someone currently incarcerated, as the only thing which will be gained from a pardon is an early release from prison. The person being pardoned will still remain a felon, and will not have it removed from their record, nor will they have any rights lost due to the felony restored.
