Convert a file, as you found out epub to epub conversion works fine.
Use the Modify ePub plugin to update your books metadata.

Essentially anytime you export a book out of calibre the metadata gets updated.
To supplement DoctorOhh's response and perhaps clarify which formats get operated on by what:

AFAIK, with the exception of Modify ePub, all of those operations update the metadata in the generated format, but not in the original format the conversion or copy was generated from. Modify ePub updates the original ePub format in the library when the option Update Metadata is applied to a selected book (in the library) that has an ePub format. And Modify ePub does not [edit]touch update metadata in[/edit] any other formats.
