Formatting a partition without changing the type does not affect the MBR. Nor does changing any files on a partition. In general, normal use of a computer doesn't change the MBR.

Resizing, moving, deleting, changing the format (FAT32 to NTFS, for example) may change the partition table entry in the MBR. Changing the Active flag for a partition will change the partition table entry in the MBR.
