Would be to get a digital copy of the tape in the highest resolution you can - 24 bit, 192 kHz would be great. And do this as soon as you can, every time you play that tape it is degrading a little bit.

Once you have a digital file, you can then start to throw software at the problem. Programs like Adobe Audition or Audacity are good places to start. And here are some links that will help you in eliminating background noise from the digital file:

Go to Google and key in "remove background noise from audio" as your search term for even more links...

Good luck!
