Depends entirely on what you molding, and what the mold is made of. I cast bullets for a muzzle loading rifle, pouring molten lead into an aluminum mold. To prevent the bullets from sticking to the mold, a common fix is to smoke the faces of the mold with a candle. The thin layer of carbon deposited by the flame keeps lead from sticking. However, if you are looking at casting everyday sort of things closer to room temperature, try cooking spray, such as PAM. Powdered graphite, used to lubricate locks, is also a good "anti-seize" compound- although a trifle messy.
