Do you want to update the ebook internal metadata for a copy of your ebook on your ereader device or on your disk? (Calibre does this automatically with Save to Disk and Send to Device).
Do you want to update the metadata of an ebook inside Calibre's database? (I don't know why you would want to do this, since it changes your master imported book and it's automatically updated during Send, Save and Convert operations anyway, but if you want to do it, just do a convert to the same format.)
What more do you want?

I'm sorry I wasn't more explicit. I thought it was clear from the context.
I would really like to have the option to do #3, to save the metadata to the ebook inside Calibre's database.
I understood from the previous messages that this wasn't possible (at least without exporting and reimporting the file). Now I just learned from your message that it can be easily done inside the database by converting it to the same format. Thanks.
Still, I think this option to update the metadata inside the database should be more conspicuous and less roundabout (not necessarily the default). But that's just my opinion.
