Trying to get off probation early for felony D.U.I.

My fiance was arrested for a felony DUI in Sep.1996. He hit a city street sweeper. There were no injuries. This was his first and only offence. He was sentanced to one year in county jail and 5 years probation. He served 8 months in jail and 3 years probation so far. What are his chances of petitioning to get off probation early?
