I called the police after being assualted by a former girlfriend and we were both arrested and charged with a felony. The D.A. decided not to file and the charges were dropped. How do I go about getting that off of my record?
Arrest but no charges filed

You need to apply to have the arrest record sealed pursuant to California Penal Code 851.8.
You can read about the service and see a copy of the law at http://www.recordgone.com/california/arrest-record-sealing/
In most cases, record sealing is a bit complex as the burden is on you to prove that you did not commit the offense.
Feel free to post additional questions if you have them.
