We derive the minimal Fock-state expansions of the pion and the photon wave functions in light-cone formalism, then we calculate the pion-photon and the photon-pion transition form factors of $\gamma ^{\ast}\pi ^{0}\to \gamma $ and $\gamma ^{\ast}\gamma \to \pi ^{0}$ processes by employing these quark-antiquark wave functions of the pion and the photon. We find that our calculation for the $\gamma ^{\ast}\gamma \to \pi ^{0}$ transition form factor agrees with the experimental data at low and moderately high energy scale. Moreover, the physical differences and inherent connections between the transition form factors of $\gamma ^{\ast}\pi ^{0}\to \gamma $ and $ \gamma ^{\ast}\gamma \to \pi ^{0}$ have been illustrated, which indicate that these two physical processes are intrinsically related. In addition, we also discuss the $\pi ^{0}\to \gamma \gamma $ form factor and the decay width $ \mathit{\Gamma}(\pi \to \gamma \gamma)$ at $Q^{2}=0$.
