if (mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left)) // command for clicking
{
   instance_create(mouse_x, mouse_y, OBJECT); // command for creating an object, mouse_x and y are the positions the mouse is at (absolute)
}

Hi and welcome to the GMC!

Have an invisible controller object.
Put in the "mouse global mouse left pressed" event the following code:

instance_create(mouse_x, mouse_y, OBJ);

where you replace "OBJ" with the name of the object of which you want to create an instance.
Then put this controller object in your room.

EDIT: I got ninja'd!

The manual is a great source of info, hit F1 in whatever flavour of Gamemaker you are using. Then see if you can find the bits you need to construct what you want it to do. Take a look at "Instance Functions", and "Mouse Input".

Aware I've been beaten to the punch, but I think getting used to finding what you need from the manual is a good skill to have.
