Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Ca. Law /Lets say I am able to file a motion to reopen a criminal case and the presiding judge see's that what I say is true. Does he or she have the authority to Overturn my case or is this just the begining to a long drawn out process ? If I ask for Civil damages in my complaint, will it be dealt with immediately or do I need to file a seperate complaint for that ?
