edit your /system/build.prop (use CM file manager), and add this line:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

that's it, reboot and you will have on-screen "navigation bar".

You need to use a text editor that supports root access mode.
Use CM's built-in File Manager and its editor. To enable root access, go to Settings -> General Settings -> Access Mode, and pick something other than "safe".

To disable hardware button backlight, Settings -> Buttons -> Backlight.
There you can also set Recents Button -> both long and short press -> no action

The only thing not possible to disable currently is the back button.
