It must be possible to do this because 'Modify Epub' overwrites the .epub for me. BTW the way yours is currently working is not doing an epub-to-epub conversion it's just saving the before & after versions of Modify Epub.

I think the solution is to go to calibre Preferences - Tweaks (in Advanced section) and look for the one called 'Save original file when converting/polishing from same format to same format'. There are 2 items in this particular Tweak. I think you need to change the second one
Code:
save_original_format_when_polishing = False
