1) create the file ~/.xmodmaprc containg the lines :

remove mod3 = Alt_L
keycode 113 = Alt_L
add mod4    = Meta_L
add mod1    = Alt_R

In this case the alt Left key is becoming the meta key. if you want use the alt 
right key just change L by R and R by L.

2) restart X-windows or do 

$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc

3) You can test the new configuration using the program xkeycaps.

All the best.
