The changes you make to the GRUB boot entry are one time only.  They're
not saved anywhere; they're only passed to the current instance of the
kernel.

Why would you want to?

My best guess is that you think you want to because you think you're
making a permanent change that you'll have to look at again in the
future and you want it to be pretty.  This is not the case.  All you're
doing is adding some new words to a list of parameter words.
