No, that's not actually true. Metadata in a Mobi book is stored "outside" the DRM'd content, which means that you can edit the metadata even if the book has DRM.

Not sure about the "series" question, I usually do not read novels, but non fiction ;-) ...
Take a look at "plugboards" in Calibre. This is a feature which lets you automatically append a series name and number to the book's title when you send it to your reader. So, for example, on my Kindle, when I look at the titles I have:

Poirot 01 - The Mysterioud Affair at Styles
Poirot 02 - The Murder on the Links

and so on.
