You can change it in edit metadata or some plugin. I think that importing a book will set it if the book has calibre metadata.

Thanks - one of the few things I'm OCD about is author names, so I go out of my way to get them right.
If I see a book has a tricky author name or title/subtitle, I will add it as an empty book, get its author, title, and subtitle 'sorted', and then cut and paste the format files into the empty book.
And I've never knowingly imported a book that had calibre metadata… embedded within or semi-attached. When I import an EPUB one of the first things I do is run it in through the Modify EPUB plugin and strip out any cruft including non-dc metadata.
