There's no function to_char for time :-(; try with your own function. Something
like

create function time2str(time) returns text as '
declare
var_time alias for $1;
var_hrs int;
var_mins int;
var_mod text;
begin
var_hrs := extract(hours from var_time);
var_mins := extract(minutes from var_time);
if var_hrs >= 12 then
var_mod := ''PM'';
if var_hrs > 12 then
var_hrs := var_hrs - 12;
end if;
else
var_mod := ''AM'';
end if;
return to_char(var_hrs,''fm00'') || '':'' || to_char(var_mins,''fm00'') || var_mod;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';

regression=# select time2str('7:00:00'::time);
time2str
----------
07:00AM
(1 row)
