After changing the MB to a P8H77-M Pro the front power switch got stuck. The system stil works only by switching the 220V power supply off and on every time, or the 0/1-switch at the backside. Is the front button replaceable and for sale ?

I know Corsair offered to send me a whole new front panel set up for a troubled audio jack and bad USB port, would have been horrible to replace but I appreciated the gesture. I was able to get everything working but 1 of 4 USB 2.0 ports and thus it was not worth the trouble to me!
 
Not sure if they sale a replacement button for your case you would need to check with the manufacturer of the case you have. In the mean time you can use a screwdriver to "Hot-Wire" your pc. I had to do this years ago on one of my computers just connect the screwdriver so it jumps the power and ground pins the button connects to on the motherboard. Or you could buy a switch/button from a store and make your own power button, they are very basic devices.
