What State? Every State has its own requirements and some charges can never be expunged. You would (in most States) file a petition and state the reasons you need/want the expungement, addressing the law and how you are in compliance, how your situation fits the legal requirements.
(Please only post a question once.)

Depends on the state. For ex, in California you would first get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor, and the have the misdemeanor expunged. Can all be done in one shot. There are sites on the web that can give you info and some have do-it-yourself expugement guides based on your state.
