how do get a misdomeaner removed from your record

In Virginia, only matters for which a person is found "not guilty" or are "otherwise dismissed" can be expunged.  Please see Virginia Code section 19.2-392.2.  If you were found guilty of the misdemeanor, generally speaking you cannot have the matter expunged.
