You can ask your lawyer to talk to the probation officer and judge but they will need a good reason like an out of time job to end probation.

You have to ask your probation agent. They may recommend to the judge to discharge you early.

Possibly. You or your attorney will have to file a motion with the court requesting early termination of your probation.

You can bring a motion for early termination of probation. I wouldn't bother trying to do this on your own. Hire a lawyer to do it, or contact the lawyer that represented you when the case was originally charged.

Possibly, if you hire the right lawyer to file a motion for early termination.

If you have completed all of the classes, all the community service, and paid all your fines and fees, you can go back to the court and request early termination of your probation. The court does not have to grant early termination.

You can go to court and ask the judge to terminate your probation, but you will need to provide proof that you haven't gotten into any trouble.
