First of all, Pantone is the brand name of an organization that released an international color standard. You are probably referring to the difference between spot colors and CMYK since most artists are referring to spot colors when referencing Pantone.
PANTONE
A Pantone Spot Color is a pre-mixed ink color that adheres strictly to the international standard for that color. Ink manufacturers cater these inks to exact specs and send them to printing companies on-demand. The press operators can then drop the custom ink into the press and out comes the color.
CMYK
The most common form of printing uses 4 ink colors arranged in an intricate pattern of dots to generate colorful images. If you open up your inkjet printer you should be able to see those same colors on your ink cartridges. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; otherwise referred to as CMYK. These are called process colors and are often seen in commercial printing. For most print applications, this form of printing is sufficient. However, there are limitations. 1) The color gamut is relatively narrow in certain areas such as blue and fluorescent colors. 2) If a precise color needs to be matched, the printer would opt for a spot color. 3) Lighter colors such as gray will show the dots when viewed up close. A spot color can print 100% solid.

By "Pantone Color," you must be referring to Pantone Solid or Pantone Spot Color, because Pantone is the brand of a private company that sets the international standard for print colors. "Pantone" does not indicate that something is not CMYK.The mentioned company, Pantone, produces a swatch book called Pantone Bridge, and has the spot color on one column, and the CMYK process color on the other column so that you can see the color shift between solid and CMYK, as well as the CMYK breakdown. These swatch books are available online or in a local graphics supply store.
If you want to convert a DIC color to a Pantone color, you must calcuate the CMYK value inside a graphics program such as Photoshop. Once you have the CMYK value you can convert the color.

This is a complicated process. To begin, TPX in Pantone stands for Textile Paper Extended. These colors are meant for printing on fabric. When one has a CMYK image in Photoshop the colors can not just be converted. The only way to incorporate spot color (Pantone) into a rasterized CMYK image is as an extra plate, or spot color channel in Photoshop. One can also create a monotone, duotone or tritone from a CMYK image. To do this the image can not remain in CMYK mode. The process is much easier to do in a vector file. Using the eye dropper or color picker tool in Photoshop one can measure the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow and black in a specific area. Using the swatches palette open the appropriate Pantone library, find the desired color and measure the CMYK content in the same manner. This process will reveal the CMYK equivalent for that specific color.
If you're printing the image on your desktop printer, use RGB--those printers will convert anything else to RGB, then to CMYK. If you're printing it on a wide-format inkjet printer like a Roland, Mutoh or VUtek, or you're sending it to a printing plant to be printed on an offset or flexo press, use CMYK if you're not using spot colors, and Pantone for the spot colors.

Pantone is system used to standardize color matching. Pantone colors are referenced by the TPX code. To convert Pantone TPX to CMYK, select an item, and then select "convert to CMYK" on the "edit" menu.

The CMYK values for Pantone 10127 C are approximately C: 0, M: 0, Y: 8, K: 0. This translates to a very light yellow shade. However, for precise printing results, it's always best to refer to a Pantone color guide or consult with a printing professional.
