Changing meta tags in header.php

So i want to modify header.php with the following meta tags to prevent caching of the pages and keep the dynamic content on my page as relevant as possible:

<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

But i dont want it to overwrite during upgrade. If i copy header.php over into the child theme’s root and update the info there, will i run into issues in the future with GD?
