I don't know of a way to change this behavior.

But as another poster noted, you can learn to hold down the Shift key when
you want to Move the dragged file.

As for desktop icons, you can either run kcontrol and pick the desktop
section, or right click on the desktop and pick configure desktop.  Under
Behavior, you will find both File icons and Device icons that can be turned
on or off.

If the Trashcan is not displayed, right click on the Desktop, select Create
New -> Link to Location.  Type in "trash:/" for the URL and save.  There
does not appear to be a GUI way to do this in Kubuntu.
