Use Polish... no conversion then and there's at least one other method that only changes metadata - check with the calibre forum here...
As JoeD correctly pointed out above as long as you use calibre to export (Send to device, Save to disk, Email, Content server) the books from the calibre library the metadata will be embedded in the book (for supported formats) on export with no additional steps required.

However if you must embed the metadata in the books within your library then elcreative's advice to use the polish feature (for supported formats) is the way to go.
