Must I be in a state of grace before I can receive ashes on Ash Wednesday?
 
No, blessed ashes are a sacramental and not a sacrament. Generally speaking, you would though need to refrain from receiving Communion. That said, I very much recommend that you remedy your status as soon as possible. Lent would be a very good time to do so. God bless.
