you can get your attorney to file a withdraw of guilty plea, but its up to the judge weather or not to accept it. Contact your attorney and discuss it with him/her. Good luck.

You need to speak with a couple of criminal defense attorneys.
The initial consultation is usually at no cost.
The purpose of the meeting is for you to speak about your case with another attorney, see what strategies remain, and the feasibility of withdrawing your plea. The last one is a longshot, now. But, certain possibilities could exist.

You are also looking to see if you are compatible with a specific attorney.
If things click, and you like what you hear, you'll have to negotiate a fee.
You'll also have to get some money to hire this attorney.

Now, if you can't get anything more than $5 or $10, don't despair.
California is almost bankrupt.
They aren't locking away low level drug offenders.
So, don't expect much prison time.
You might have to spend a few months in county.

But, California's bad luck, could be your good luck.
