sed Command on Multiple Files and retaining the same file name

Hi All

I want to know how to retain the same file name but with changes .
Can some one please let me know how to proceed with this .

Below command just shows corrected output on command prompt , how to edit the file without changing the file name .

The below Script -

Code:
cd /home
ls * > test.txt
for i in `cat test.txt`;
  do
     sed '1s/..//' $i
   done
