If they happened after your 21st birthday then the answer is definitely no. And it is probably no even if under 21.

No, a conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia can never be expunged. A first-time misdemeanor DUI can be expunged after 10 years if you have had no other misdemeanors or felonies during that time.

Both can, as long as you've successfully completed probation.

The expungement period for a misdemeanor is at least 4 years from the date of the successful completion of probation. Longer if it is a class a misdemeanor.
