Can I save this tags in my ebooks so I can mantain a only real version of the book?
You are correct when you say, the metadata I changed with calibre were saved in a local data base and not in the epub file.

BUT If you sent the file to your device using the Send to device (or save to disk or connect to folder) feature then that metadata should be written to the epub as it is transferred to your device.

On the other hand if you just drilled down in the file structure, found the book, and dragged it to your device then you have no chance of having the metadata transferred to the book because you circumvented the way calibre is designed.
