Simply provide the okcontrolid of the ModalPopupExtender1 to the submit button id as shown, so that it would close the popup window, once the click event handler of btnOkay is completed.

<cc1:modalpopupextender id="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" 
cancelcontrolid="btnCancel" okcontrolid="btnOkay" 
targetcontrolid="Button1" popupcontrolid="Panel1" 
popupdraghandlecontrolid="PopupHeader" drag="true" 
backgroundcssclass="ModalPopupBG">
</cc1:modalpopupextender>

jGrowl jQuery plugin - to show unobtrusive messages

Instead of the ModalPopup extender, use a jQuery plugin like jGrowl to show unobtrusive messages - http://cool-javascripts.com/effects/jgrowl-to-show-unobtrusive-messages.html

If user intervention is not required, a modal popup is unnecessary
