What's the english word for "отпроситься"? For example I have a full-time job but tomorrow I need to leave my job earlier so I need to ask my boss the permission to do it. What's the english word for this? Beg off?? Thanks for your answers!!!

I'm afraid that 'Beg off' doesn't mean anything at all, even though Google translate suggests it. The Russian to English function on Google translate often comes up with nonsense - don't trust it! There isn't a specific phrase for this situation. You'd simply say that you're asking your boss for an hour off tomorrow, or asking him/her for time off.
