More details to this question:
If my i.d was used to promote prison contraband but I didn't do the crime and I know who did, I plead guilty under the guidance of somebody and public defender; he didn't know I didn't do it and somebody paid the fine after I wanted to turn the person in who originally used my i.d to promote the prison contraband, is there any way I can turn the girl in and get the misdemeanor over turned since I didn't pay the fine and wanted to turn her in.

Not likely under the scenario you pose. However, there is a post judgment motion available if fraud or duress was used, see Criminal Procedure Law Section 440. You are already under oath swearing that it was you who did the crime, and now you want to say someone else did it? Would any judge believe you?
