You can edit the epub file itself by using Sigil. Once I have converted HTML to epub, I seldom if ever go back to the HTML again.
Speaking of which, I had an rtf wordprocessor file that I converted to epub using Calibre. The file had a lot of images and resulted in a rather large epub file. The latest version of Calibre, when I converted from rtf to epub, gave me a message to instead use OpenOffice to convert the rtf to HTML and then convert the HTML to epub using Calibre. I did this and it worked MUCH better, giving me a smaller epub and better images.
So, the moral of the story is to use an HTML file when possible to convert to epub (which you are doing). But, as I say, once you are done, use Sigil to edit and fine-tune the epub - e.g. table of contents, some navigation screens (like say a list of illustrations that jump to the image), etc.
Of course, if you really have a webpage that you need to keep in synch with the epub, then you might want to start over each time with the HTML and reconvert.
