Execute: 

xmodmap -e "keycode 0x85 =  Meta_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x40 =  Alt_L"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x6C =  Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "keycode 0x86 =  Meta_R"
xmodmap -e "clear Mod1"
xmodmap -e "clear Mod4"
xmodmap -e "add   Mod1   = Alt_L Alt_R"
xmodmap -e "add   Mod4   = Meta_L Meta_R"

The first 4 defines the winkeys meta, and the alt keys alt.

man xmodmap gives you iddeas about the keycodes. 

You can also put all those in a file, say .xmodmap and load it from
.profile/.xsession. 

xmodmap -pke will give you a description of what the keyboard is at
the moment. You can save that in a file and modify it and then feed it
back to xmodmap.

For a graphical version try xkeycaps.

For non-X have a look at /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and loadkeys.
