First year mining for me, and most of my GPU rigs are pointed at the Ethereum network at the moment.

So my question is what the f*k are we suppose to do, to prepare for this fork?
Are there anything we suppose to do with our rigs, settings? before or after the fork
or shall we just keep them running as usual?

appreciate it if anyone can give me some answers here.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

All you got to do is Keep on keepin' on man!

As has been said if you are mining to a pool, which you most likely are since solo mining ETH would be pointless unless you have 1000's of miners under your control, you can just go about your normal business.
