Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Am I A Convicted Felony?

In Florida, I plead no contest to lewd and lascivious behavior (a felony), did probation, and adjudication was withheld; but I still have to register as a sex offender. I am now trying to apply for a job and the application asks ''have you ever been convicted of a felony?''. How do I answer this question? Is there a way to petition the court to have the case dismissed and/or my record expunged?
