You can use the xinput command to edit the button map of your mouse.

For example, "xinput get-button-map 8" (8 being the id of my mouse, given
by "xinput") returns the standard list "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15" but then I can enter, let's say "xinput set-button-map 8 1 2 0 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15" and it will disable my right-click button, because
it's mapped to something that doesn't exist (0). You can of course also map
it to some other button if you want.
