'Polish books' is a standard calibre utility. Add it to one of your calibre menus/toolbars via
Preferences > Change calibre behavior > Toolbars & menus

Once you've done that you can update the covers inside each selected epub by running 'Polish books' with the 'Update the cover in the book files' option checked.

Although you might have good reasons for wanting to do all of the above, I should point out that it is not strictly necessary if all you want to do is update the cover thumbnails/screensavers on your Kobo. As davidfor has already said, once you have covers you're happy with in the calibre library metadata you can use the Kobo Utilities plugin ('Update covers for selected books' option) to update any existing thumbnails/screensavers on the Kobo.
