Whether you can do anything about the record depends on what the record indicates, whether you were effectively represented by counsel, and whether your rights were violated in the original case.
You need to check your court file to find out the exact disposition, or have a lawyer check for you. You may be able to get it expunged or get a new hearing to be granted a Probation Before Judgment (and then an expungement 3 years from now). And, as Mr. Welch says, you could possibly have a case fora post-conviction petition, for which you would need to check with a lawyer.
