Just wondering because one of them is loose and I don't have the money to buy a completely new keyboard.

Usually the keys move up and down on a small spring. Putting super glue under the key would probably cause it to stick in the "pressed" position, causing a "stuck key" error and making the keyboard useless, and possible preventing the computer from booting (they may not boot with a stuck key). So it would not be a good idea to use glue on the keyboard.
If you can not afford to replace the laptop keyboard (they can be expensive), consider a cheap $10 desktop USB keyboard to attach to the laptop.

I agree with dewcoons.
You should also investigate if your manufacturer can provide replacement keys without upheaval of the whole board. If your keyboard is like mine (a new compaq presario) and a key is loose this is because one of the two plastic clips that work in an x bridge has popped out of its socket. If your brave you can gently pull the key off, and put the plastic clips back into place. Ive removed keys a few times due to accidentally hitting the Start Menu key during games.
