Answer
Deployment overwrites changes by recreating Pods with original spec.
Quick Answer
You can't — running Pods are immutable. kubectl edit or kubectl patch on a Pod only changes mutable fields (like labels). The Pod spec (containers, images) can't be changed on a running Pod. To update a Pod, you update its Deployment or ReplicaSet — Kubernetes creates new Pods with the updated spec and removes the old ones.
