Not with a straight conviction. Your only hope would be to request a pardon from the governor, and the odds of that happening are very low.

Convictions cannot be expunged. Petitions for non-disclosure are only for deferred probations. Take the straight conviction means it is on your record for good and it comes with a drivers license suspension to boot.
