Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

NSF check ramifications

My wife was convicted of writing a bad check. We paid the debt prior to the court date. The documentation of payment

was introduced to the court. She was not represented by a lawyer in court and she was found guilty. This was in 2000 now she is having troulbe getting a job. The criminal report reflects the status of paid but also of guilt. Can this be removed/changed? What process is involved?
