I'm not a Pennsylvania attorney, but I'd say your question is a bit premature. I very much doubt that you could start the expungement process before you've completed your probation successfully. My research suggests that there are very, very limited opportunities for expungement of a conviction, in your state: you either have to be 70 years old (and arrest-free for at least 10 years after finishing your sentence), or dead for three years.
