emacs -Q
C-x b foo
foo ; Insert something.
M-: (set-buffer-modified-p nil) RET
C-x C-s ; No file is written.

It's easy to change that flag for several buffers
with `Buffer-menu-not-modified' or
`ibuffer-do-toggle-modified'.  Then, if you plan to save those
buffers and if they have buffer-file-name nil, then you
are not offered to save them.
