You can only "clear" the errors by fixing them. If the pages return 404 Not Found then that is still an error. It's likely that the page is being linked from somewhere else on the web.

If there is an equivalent page, add a 301 redirect to that page and the error will disappear in a few weeks.

Look at where the 404 link comes from and see if you are able to fix it. For example if it's from a blog post, the site owner may be interested in fixing it. If it's from a forum you are probably out of luck.

EDIT based on comment: if the page no longer links to you, check that google's cache of the page isn't an old one. If the link was only recently removed it will take several weeks for GWT to update.
