How can shadows be created on something like this, if you can't work with 3d programs.

It has already shadows

If you mean in general, then you can only
-take the picture
-set all non-transparent pixel to the same color
-use some deformation tool to "squash" these pixel to a flat area on ground
see attached example

It also helps to have the images in png format and not some ugly anti-aliased and compressed jpg.

However with 2D tools only, you can't create 100% correct shadows. It's only a simple approximation.

Maybe but delete the original shadow first.
