Sealing an arrest record in California requires that it be shown that "you are factually innocent", meaning "that no reasonable cause exists to believe that the arrestee committed the offense for which the arrest was made." Just because a person was not convicted and the case was dismissed is not enough to prove that the person is factually innocent.
Sealing an arrest record permanently erases and destroys all records of an arrest that did not lead to a conviction. The entire record, fingerprints, booking photo, arrest report, can be sealed and then destroyed 3 years after the arrest. The arrest will be treated as if it never occurred.
The typical case in California takes about 4 to 6 months. The courts operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you start, the sooner your record is sealed.
