No, I would prefer during show and printing, without touching the image itself (since jpeg is a loose compression algorithm, having to decompress-edit-recompress is a waste of quality and, due the fact that you don't know how much comrpess the second time, could be also a waste of disk space, if you use a less-compression rate).
In general, having the possibilty of see some EXIF parameters, could also be useful when you have taken a lot and want to see exposure time/aperture/zoom ratio "on the fly". So I think to something confugurable, maybe with the possibility to save/recall different config, where you choose EXIF data to display/print, color, position, font size, if has to be used only for display or also for printing. Of course, when printing you need an option to disable it "on the fly", if set for printing also.
I suggest to use a memo edit and some checkboxes. Checkboxes to select the EXIF info to display (and for date/time, also the format), that produces or removes tags in the memo control. This way it's easy to edit it for novice, and experienced users can re-arrange the memo tags changing position or adding further, advanced parameters.
Something like (created with one tag for each line):
Exp: <exposure>
<datetime;yy/mm/dd hh:mm>
Zoom: <zoom>
that I could simply re-arrange like:
Exp: <exposure> Zoom <zoom> the day: <<datetime;yyyy/mm/dd d hh:mm>
