Absolutely and I encourage this! Your resume will form a solid base for future updates. I encourage my clients to update their resume even when they are not actively looking for work.

Cover letters are a great way to build alignment between your skills and experience and your interest in the employer and their role. Employers want candidates who have chosen them therefore it is important you tailor your cover letter for each role you are applying for and not sending out generic ones.
