No, unfortunately that is not legally possible. As I detailed above, the time to dispute a charge or seek to have it dropped or reduced would be while it is still pending. Once you enter a plea or get convicted at trial, the case is then closed. At that point, absent an appeal or some other form of post-conviction relief, the case is done.

As to an appeal or post-conviction relief, and again as detailed above, the time to do that ran about twenty years ago. I'm sure this is not what you want to hear, but twenty years later, there is no viable avenue available to you to now have the charge reduced.
