The post by itself is only data, it cannot perform such action as expiring itself. So you need some form of external control to act on it.
You can use WP Cron (see wp_schedule_event() and related) to run periodic task that will query for posts by your custom field and perform wanted action on them (trashing, cancelling published status, etc).
