You can petition the court to have the misdemeanor expunged. Your chances are better with a knowledgeable attorney to advise you and file the paperwork.
The rules will vary by state.
Here is a similar Yahoo Answer:

Google for "expunge misdemeanor" in your state.
If your petition is granted, then the misdemeanor won't be visible on your public records (and you may have to work with the reporting agencies to make sure they update their records).
You can also petition to "seal and destroy" an arrest record. That will remove it even from law enforcement's files.
