Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

petty larceny

Can a petty larceny be expunged? It was papers from an old abandoned house, they were returned, I thought I could plead guilty w/explanation. The commonwealth attorney told me it wouldn't affect my future but now I can't even get a job at Target!!!
