The mode of a piece is determined by the notes of that piece as laid out in the linear form called a scale.
When you tune to a mode (rather than capoing), the bass string is always in the Mixolydian mode and the middle string is in the Ionian modes because the tonic of the key is on the open string and at the third fret respectively.
An advantage of using the capo method of changing modes is that you can tune the three strings so their modes are compatible and then put the capo on for different compatible modes.

In sum, the modes are created when you play the notes of a major scale, but starting at different points within the scale, and over a different bass note (or "root" note).
The modes of B phrygian, C lydian, D mixolydian, E aeolian F# locrian are all derived from G major (ionian) too, so you can "think" in those modes as well.
For the record, modes can also be derived from the melodic minor and harmonic minor scales in the same way these modes were derived from the major scale.

This sequence of Major, minor, and diminished triads never varies for the Mixolydian mode, and differs from the Ionian and Dorian modes in that it begins on the 5th note of the Ionian mode, and the A Major chord, which was the "V" chord in Ionioan mode is the "I" chord in Mixolydian mode.

If we use the 6 1/2 fret (and not the 6 fret) we are in the key of D major (otherwise known as D ionian).
If we put the capo on the first fret, we'll see that our mode has changed from ionian to dorian and our key center has changed from D to E. So, our new "key" (for all intents and purposes) is E dorian.

Most people already know a mode and they don't even know it, but if you have ever been taught or have heard the "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do" scale that they teach in most grade schools, then you have a head start.

The Dorian mode settles the mind and is gravest and manliest and "avoids extremes".
