Not in the yum.conf file, but the /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-core.repo file, where you'd comment out any existing baseurl or mirrorlist lines for the [core] repository, and add:
baseurl=file://path/to/directory
Also, I have to do yum-update after the change, correct?
Well, a yum update is unlikely to pick anything from the [core] repo unless it's a new dependency of an already-existing package you have.
It makes sense to do "yum updates" on a regular basis though to keep up with security and other bug fixes.

If you configure yum to look only at your local repo, as described above, it won't look anywhere else.
Bear in mind though that the [updates] and [extras] repos are also enabled by default and that yum will use the official servers for those unless you configure it not to do so.
