A couple of ways to handle updating metadata on a Kobo ereader. You can set the metadata management to Automatic under Preferences=>Import/export=>Sending books to devices and enable "Update metadata on the device" under the "Metadata, on device & advanced" tab for the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers. An alternate is to use davidfor's KoboUtilities plugin and it's "Update metadata in device library" option to update the metadata for selected books.
The only real gotcha here is that you have to transfer the books to the Kobo, safely eject it and allow it to import the books to create the database entries. Then you can reconnect the Kobo to your computer so the database has the book entries to be updated with the metadata.
