In my .xmonad/xmonad.hs file, I have the following lines, which control howto drag and resize windows. How can I change this, such that I don't need any mod key?

myMouseBindings (XConfig {XMonad.modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $

    -- mod-button1, Set the window to floating mode and move by dragging
    [ ((modm,button1), (\w -> focus w >> mouseMoveWindow w
                                       >> windows W.shiftMaster))

    -- mod-button2, Raise the window to the top of the stack
    , ((modm,button2), (\w -> focus w >> windows W.shiftMaster))

    -- mod-button3, Set the window to floating mode and resize by dragging
    , ((modm,button3), (\w -> focus w >> mouseResizeWindow w
                                       >> windows W.shiftMaster))

    -- you may also bind events to the mouse scroll wheel (button4 and button5)
    ]

Try replacing modm with 0, e.g.

, ((0,button2), (\w -> focus w >> windows W.shiftMaster))

(see this documentation for and example modKey-less mouse binding).

But be aware that if you set a binding for (0,button1), your ordinary mouse clicks probably won't reach the GUI program anymore (I never tried it) .

Have a look at the BorderResize layout modifier, too. (Note its dependence on a floating layout etc, see the first paragraph of the linked page.)
