Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

Civil Rights

I pleaded no contest to the lowest level mistermeanor, it was a domestic violence charge. I have lost my right to own or purchase weapons or have a concealed weapons permit.

Question; Can I get those rights reenstated or the conviction vacated. I was not guilty, and I'm sure the Judge new it. The prosecuter was able to intimidate me into the plea with a threat of 6 months in jail.
