you could use auto-it easy programming, www.autoitscript.com

hotkeyset('{f1}','esc')

func esc() send('{esc}') endfunc

and if u dont want any icon down to the right just add #NoTrayIcon at the top of your code

The Asker asked for a method to change his GNU Screen escape-key to F1, not remap F1 to Esc. – neersighted Dec 21 '12 at 20:50
