jq is not appending json file

I have a json file like this:

{  "active": "secure",  "secure": {   "nodetype": "secure",   "nodeid": null,   "servers": [    "ts2.na",    "ts1.na",    "ts3.na"   ],   "stakeaddr": null,   "email": null,   "fqdn": null,   "ipv": "4"  } }

I wanted to change it to something like this:

 "active": "secure",

 "secure": {

  "nodetype": "secure",

  "nodeid": null,

  "servers": [

   "ts2.na",

   "ts1.na",

   "ts3.na"

  ],

  "stakeaddr": "my nicea address",

  "email": "mynice@email.com",

  "fqdn": "itsmyfqdn",

  "ipv": "4"

 }

}

So, I tried this

jq '.secure.stakeaddr = "my nice address"' config.json

although it gives me this output:

{ 

        "stakeaddr": "my nice address",

        "email": null,

        "fqdn": null,

    }

But, when I cat config.json, it shows the last unchanged file. I tried with chmod 777 as well, same result. I do not know what I am doing wrong.
