As toddos said, calibre will update the metadata in a book when you do a conversion. But, it should also do this when you send the book to your device or do a "save to folder". So, updating the metadata and then sending it to your ereader again should solve this.

But, I can think of a problem if the Sony is like my Kobo Touch. This reads the metadata the first time it sees an ebook and stores this in a database. When you are viewing the library in the device, it uses the database. If I replace the ebook with an updated version, it doesn't update the database. I have to delete the ebook and then send it over.

Also, an alternative to a conversion or using Tweak book to get the metadata into the ebook, is the plugin Modify ePub. This will write the metadata from the calibre database into the ePub. And it is a lot easier than Tweak book.
