Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana

how to expunge record?

I plead guilty to an A misdemeanor of conversion in 1994. This was in Indiana. I am wondering what I can do to get this taken off my record. What fee is involved, what paperwork. The victim is even willing to write a letter to ask for this. I have no other record. I was 19 at the time and now 30. If I get this expunged, would it show up on a criminal background check? Could I say no to conviction of a crime if this would go through??

If a factual situation seems to follow this, then it may be possible.
